Get Involved
The Dedham Square Circle is a grass-roots community effort that requires your voice, talent, and ideas.

Committees and Initiatives

Organization Committee
Helps with membership, fundraising, volunteer coordination and outreach to other organizations or town bodies. In order to be successful, we need to develop partnerships and drum up tons of community spirit!
• Web site
• Dedham Times special section
• Surveys (customers and merchants)
• Newsletter
 
Events and Promotion Committee
Sells a positive image of the Square   and encourages people to live, work, shop, play and invest here through advertising, retail promotional activity, special events, and marketing campaigns. These activities improve consumer and investor confidence in the Square and encourage commercial activity and investment in the area.  And they're fun!!!
• Holiday Stroll/Tree Lighting
• Community Forum
• Children's Music Series
• Faire in the Square
 
Design Committee
Means getting Dedham Square into top physical shape. An inviting atmosphere, created through attractive window displays, parking areas, building improvements, street furniture, signs, sidewalks, street lights, and landscaping, conveys a positive visual message about the Square and what it has to offer. Design activities also include instilling good maintenance practices in the commercial district, enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging appropriate new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning. 
• Bylaw reviews, overlay zoning district
• Sign and façade program
• Rails to Trails
 
Economic Development Committee

Will strengthen the Square's existing economic assets while expanding and diversifying its economic base. We need to determine the Square's economic value and, more importantly, its potential.
• Square business contact list
• Fiscal impact report
• Building and property inventory
