Mission Statement
The Diamond City Partnership (DCP) is Wilkes-Barre’s alliance for downtown revitalization, serving as the caretaker of our community’s vision for downtown Wilkes-Barre.
The Diamond City Partnership (DCP) is a nonprofit that aims to revitalize downtown Wilkes-Barre and make it a premier place to live, work and visit. They are an alliance of property owners, residents, business owners, educational leaders, local government officials and others who are committed to uplifting the city.
DCP seeks to boost the area’s economy and encourage more people to spend time downtown. They promote the city’s parks, educational institutions, arts and culture scene, recreational opportunities, small businesses and historic sites. Their projects follow Pennsylvania’s Main Street Program model.
