Business

One corridor. One voice.

The Association exists to give merchants and property owners on the Market Street Corridor a single, organized voice. Here is what membership covers and what the board is working on.

Why join

Leverage you can't build alone

The Downtown Inglewood Association brings local businesses together to build stronger connections, share resources, increase visibility, and stay informed about opportunities affecting Downtown.

As a member, you can connect with other business owners, learn about available resources and programs, take part in member meetings, and help shape priorities for the Downtown business community. Members will also be featured in the Downtown Inglewood business directory and map, launching in early 2027.

The DIA has a long history in this community and was reactivated in 2026. Today we are rebuilding our network of local businesses, strengthening partnerships, connecting members to resources, and creating new opportunities for a vibrant Downtown Inglewood. We invite you to join us and be part of this next chapter.
