The Astoria Downtown Historic District
Association (ADHDA) requires program funding and volunteer support to
continue to its mission. ADHDA is funded primarily through two revenue
sources: the City of Astoria and memberships. Both types of revenue are
critical to the success of the organization, and ultimately to the
overall success of downtown. Volunteer support is also necessary to
adequately carry out ADHDA’s mission.
By
supporting ADHDA with their dues, members play an important role in
keeping our historic downtown district strong and making Astoria a more
livable city. Make an investment in downtown Astoria’s future and help
make it a downtown we can all be proud of.
