About Us
Our mission is to preserve, improve, and revitalize downtown Buchanan, the core of our community. LiveBuchanan is an organization whose task it is to coordinate communication and promotion, make design improvements, and encourage ongoing economic development by leveraging our unique history, culture and physical assets.
How We Evolved
We joined a statewide initiative to facilitate enhancements to our downtown by aligning our community goals, revitalizing our district to invite innovations, and further developing Buchanan into a steward of economic vitality.
Our Partnership with the Buchanan Community
We are dedicated to Buchanan by focusing on creating vibrant, sustainable, and unique places by providing economic development services and programs with current & upcoming businesses and organizations within our community.
A Vision for Buchanan
“The vision illustrated on this website is the result of an intense collaborative process initiated by the Buchanan City Commission. A broad diversity of voices have been part of this process.
A steering committee appointed by the City and led by Mayor Sean Denison worked with the Andrews University School of Architecture & Interior Design to reimagine redevelopment opportunities in Buchanan. The process challenged stakeholders to think in ways that highlight Buchanan’s unique strengths while remaining true to its community identity. Central themes include placemaking, pedestrian-oriented design, family-friendliness, historic preservation, and inclusive economic development.”
