Downtown Monticello is full of charm that is distinctly Monticello. Our goal is to keep building on that. One of our key priorities is encouraging small and medium-scale investments that enhance the heart of our city. We want to support the incredible businesses that already call Downtown home while creating a vibrant, welcoming space that draws people in. Learn how the Monticello Economic Development Authority is encouraging investment in Downtown.
