The mission of the DBDA is to further advance the economic, aesthetic, and cultural environment of historic downtown Belmont. Located 6 miles from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, downtown Belmont is weaving a history within three districts: The Chronicle District, Historic Downtown, and the East End District. We are advancing the hub of a growing collection of independently owned businesses exemplifying an environment supportive of small business and entrepreneurial development. These distinct districts connected by trolley, trail, sidewalks, and city streets, offer a variety of experiences from outdoor recreational opportunities, to downtown living, dining, and family-friendly entertainment.
