The Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership is a small nonprofit organization based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, focused on downtown development and promotion. It coordinates resources from the Town, the University, and the downtown community to preserve and grow downtown Chapel Hill as a hub for social, cultural, and spiritual life through economic development. The organization leads and coordinates downtown efforts through partnerships, promotions, and improvements to the district’s appearance, with the aim of developing a mixed-use center that combines retail, services, professional and governmental functions, institutions, and housing. CHDP serves the downtown community and its stakeholders—residents, businesses, government entities, and the university—by strengthening the downtown’s economic and cultural ecosystem. In July 2023, the board appointed Rebecca Mornino as Executive Director, reflecting ongoing leadership and organizational development.
