Downtown Kinston’s Gateway Project

Downtown Kinston’s Gateway Project

Kinston, North Carolina’s twenty-eight square-block downtown historic commercial district has been experiencing a great deal of interest lately. Practically overnight, it has become one of the best discoveries for investing in as well as destinations in eastern North Carolina with its restaurants, tap rooms, distilleries, live music scene, public art displays and experiential activities, all within walking distance of each other.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the pros far outweigh the cons on this topic. With an absence of old school awnings and canopies that covered the sidewalks all the way out the curb, there is a need for not only shade but also protection from the elements for those using the sidewalks.

DKR's One Agenda

Every community and commercial district is different, with its own distinctive assets and sense of place. The Main Street Approach™ offers community-based revitalization initiatives with a practical, adaptable framework for downtown transformation that is easily tailored to local conditions. The Main Street Approach helps communities get started with revitalization, and grows with them over time.

Downtown Kinston is a Great Neighborhood in the Greater Neighborhood of Kinston

Downtown Kinston has a growing energy and a vibe that differs from day to night. Much of downtown may be closed on Mondays for now, which is normal for small towns, but unlike many other small towns, Kinston’s sidewalks do not roll up at 5PM the rest of the week and it is live at night.
