Located half way between Kansas City and Denver just off Interstate 70 lies a community bursting with energy and new vitality aimed at restoring their downtown area. As revitalization efforts progress, Hays, Kansas is evolving into a refuge for those wanting to spend quality time vacationing and as a hub for its residents and visitors yearning for an extraordinary experience.

After decades of decline, dramatic changes are happening in downtowns all across America. The city of Hays has put emphasis on the need to rejuvenate its downtown while keeping in tact historic preservation. The goal is to create an area of ambience filled with fashion, dining experiences, and innovative lodging. What better place to create such an atmosphere other than downtown, the heart of the community. Under the leadership of the non-profit Downtown Hays Development Corporation, Hays citizens have taken matters into their own hands returning prosperity and a better way of life to the place they call home.

Development companies are working to establish niche businesses that see the optimism of making a downtown come alive again. The fresh perspective toward the downtown is something to behold, adding the final touch to an already wonderful urban community.
