Cultural Interest Study

What will Duncanville residents show up (and pay) for?

The Duncanville Arts Foundation proposes to use temporarily available space at 202 W. Center as an up-to 18-month cultural commerce laboratory to determine whether arts and cultural activity can generate measurable consumer spending, increase utilization of underoccupied commercial property, support existing tenants, attract visitors, inform future real-estate decisions, and contribute to Duncanville’s tax base.

If the experiment works, Duncanville gains a repeatable tool for activating vacant commercial property. If it does not, Duncanville will have learned that before making a substantially larger permanent investment.
