Downtown Prairie du Chien, nestled along the river, recently completed a major revitalization through the efforts of Prairie du Chien Downtown Revitalization, Inc. (PDRI). Part of the Wisconsin Main Street Program since 2005, downtown Prairie du Chien serves as the community’s central business district and employment center. New streetscapes have been implemented, and more than a dozen businesses, including retailers, restaurants and professional services, have enhanced their facade in some way—helping to make Downtown Prairie du Chien an attractive place to shop and dine. More detailed information on this project is available on page 33.
