It's Good for Business!
The Downtown Business & Professional Association (DBPA) is a group of downtown business owners whose main goal is to ensure the success, growth, and prosperity of downtown Elizabeth City's business & Professional Community.
Your local community depends on you. Local merchants are worth 3 times as much to the local economy as chain stores. We generate more than 3 times the local economic activity of our competitor chain stores. Three times!
We have a beautiful downtown with many vibrant shops, restaurants, taverns, and cultural activities. Stroll along our waterfront, have lunch al fresco, sip a hot latte, admire some art. Enjoy!
Retail
Shop, shop, shop till your heart's content. We have many unique boutiques and stores with lots of fun items that you won't find in the "big box" stores.
Restaurants/Taverns
Great eats, great entertainment, ambiance, all within walking distance of our spectacular waterfront. Dine and relax in one of our eclectic local restaurants, taverns, bars, or coffee shops. Many have free wi-fi!

Downtown is home to a hearty mix of professional businesses, from financial institutions, to attorneys, to insurance agencies, and medical offices.
Cultural
