It has been recognized nationally as one of the top 400 programs that meet the strictest criteria set by the national office.Mission

Downtown New London Association (DNLA)
DNLA was started in the late 60's, a year or two prior to the City turning upper State Street into Captain's Walk, a pedestrian mall between Eugene O'Neill and Washington Street. Soon after, the Crystal Mall opened and much of the retail in downtown succumbed when customer volume was significantly reduced. Captain's Walk was removed and the street was returned to vehicular traffic sometime in the mid 1980's.DNLA membership is $75.00 annually and is optional. Members are comprised of the owners of downtown area businesses. Funding is from dues and from DNLA organized events.
Mission
Economic development through sponsorship of events such as SailFest and the haunted house during Halloween.
