HICKORY 2012
Downtown Hickory is the cultural, historic, and symbolic heart of the region. Improved entrance ways into downtown and customer-friendly parking enable locally owned businesses to thrive and prosper. Renovated living spaces in factories and upper floors bring new residents to downtown. The Farmers Market, the Art Walk, spectacular holiday decorations, and special events are enjoyed all hours of the day. Significant investments in historic preservation and pedestrian-friendly amenities reaching into surrounding neighborhoods spur redevelopment both north and south of the railroad tracks. The partnership between the Hickory Downtown Development Association, the City of Hickory and other organizations creates a vibrant and prosperous environment for visitors, residents, businesses and investors. No matter what the age, downtown Hickory has something for everyone.
