Vision Statement
Downtown Uniontown, Fayette’s County Seat, will be a vibrant community with a vital mix of retail businesses and professional services where merchants work in unison creating a business environment which promulgates success.
Downtown Uniontown will be considered a destination for county residents, their friends and family, and visitors alike to explore and engage in the city’s rich history, its cultural assets, and its community activities.
Downtown Uniontown’s retail center will immerse shoppers in an atmosphere of colorful and inviting displays of unique and intriguing goods that capture their interest and incite exploration.
Downtown Uniontown’s rich woven tapestry of architectural gems like the Historic State Theatre Center for the Arts will attract the year-round attention of residents and visitors alike with a diverse mix of activities and entertainment.
Downtown Uniontown will be more than a destination. It will be a residential area with diverse housing options for all ages. The streets of this close-knit community will be alive with the sounds of neighbors, and visitors enjoying an evening stroll along our flower-lined streets or an afternoon cup of coffee in one of our café’s.
Downtown Uniontown will once again become the heart and soul of its surrounding communities.

Announcement: Formation of the Business Committee!
The Uniontown Downtown Business District Authority is excited to announce the creation of a Business Committee to support the growth and vitality of our downtown community. The Committee held its inaugural meeting on July 17 and will convene monthly to address key initiatives and opportunities.
We are currently accepting Letters of Interest from local business owners, stakeholders, and community members who are passionate about contributing to the success of downtown Uniontown. To apply, please submit your letter via mail to 20 N. Gallatin Avenue or email to info@uniontownredevelopment.com.
By bringing together business owners, community leaders, and stakeholders, the committee will create new opportunities for economic growth, shared resources, and coordinated events that energize the downtown area.
Businesses that are located in the Central Business District are encouraged to join the committee, as they too have the opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas of how to improve the Central Business District, as well have a dedicated mindset to fostering growth, innovation, and collaboration within our vibrant community.
Joining the Business Committee isn’t just about meetings and policies — it’s about being part of something that truly makes a difference in your local business community. Uniontown is built on the strength, dedication, and vision of its members. Together, we have what it takes to turn goals into results — and make a lasting impact on our local economy.
Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled Thursday, August 14th from 6PM-7PM at the Union Trust Building. ****If you would like to sponsor/host a monthly Committee meeting please visit us online!
