Launch: DowntownRochesterMN.com

CWS is pleased to announce the launch of Downtown Rochester MN.com, a new website developed for the Rochester Downtown Alliance. Occasionally, the complaint is heard that there's nothing to do in Rochester. In fact, the downtown district is quite active for those in the loop, and this website aims to substantially increase that number of individuals.

The site is intensely data-driven and represents a joint effort between the hardworking staffs of both RDA and the Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau. The pool of information will be kept up to date constantly by these organizations and by downtown business owners themselves.

In addition to highlighting current and future activities in downtown Rochester, the site features information about new developments in the district and an itinerary planner that walks a visitor through the steps of planning a night out on the town. Information on parking downtown is integrated throughout the listings, so there's no excuse not to get out and explore.

Rochester offers a host of sights and sounds -- theatre, music, art, comedy, unique shopping, and excellent restaurants both old and new. Keep yourself up to date by subscribing to email updates or RSS feeds from the website. Have an idea for something you'd like to see happening downtown? There's a suggestion box for you.

Rochester Downtown Alliance Selects CWS for Website Development

CWS has been selected to develop a new interactive project for the Rochester Downtown Alliance following a final review of proposals last week by RDA board members.

We are extremely pleased to have an opportunity to work with RDA and promote downtown Rochester as a destination. We're proud of the city of Rochester, and we're excited at the opportunity to further its economic development.

The new website will be a deep resource, highlighting events and things to do in the downtown district, as well as providing information about RDA initiatives.

Look for a launch announcement next spring!
