Downtown Phoenix Inc with Executive Director Dan Klocke and Vice President RJ Price
WE’RE WORKING TIRELESSLY TO BUILD A BETTER DOWNTOWN. The sensory experience on the ground floor of any urban environment helps define the culture of a city, what people think about it, what they remember and what they love. That’s why improving the sidewalk experience is just one of many initiatives Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI) has created to cultivate a better downtown.
And we’re not alone. In addition to focusing money and manpower on sidewalk activation through marketing, events and the amazing work of the Downtown Phoenix Ambassadors and 
Streetscape Team, we’re working with business leaders from our membership organization, Phoenix Community Alliance, and a host of volunteer and community organizations to create a more walkable, interesting and vibrant community.
Dan Klocke serves as the executive director of the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, overseeing the business improvement district in the heart of our city. He works on economic development recruiting developers to use older buildings, create new ones and attract business to the area. Previously, Dan lived in Baltimore where he ran a business improvement district and worked on a Main Street program. He is married with four kids.
R.J. Price joined Downtown Phoenix Partnership in 2009 and is currently Vice President of Marketing + Events for Downtown Phoenix Inc. and its family of affiliates. A background in journalism and theater has come in handy while selling the DTPHX experience.
