GREENVILLE, OH – The Darke County Visitors Bureau (DCVB) will host the
grand opening of a new welcome center at 421 S. Broadway, downtown
Greenville on Friday, October 3, 2014.
The grand opening will kick off with a ribbon cutting by the Darke

On this night, local artists will showcase their work in the new
welcome center, and a local musician will play an acoustic set to
highlight Main Street Greenville’s First Friday event, The Artisan
Stroll.
Located in the heart of the county seat of Darke County and next door
to KitchenAid Experience Retail Center, one of the largest tourism
draws for not only Darke County but also for the State of Ohio, the
1,600-square-foot space houses a welcome center, and the offices of the
Darke County Visitors Bureau and Main Street Greenville.
“The new facility will provide easy access for visitors and locals to
information on shopping, dining and recreational activities, as well as
the place to find out about special events and cultural activities,”
stated Deanna York, Executive Director of the Darke County Visitors
Bureau.
With the center’s opening, the Darke County Visitors Bureau is offering
locals the opportunity to share their passion of Darke County with
visitors in the role of community ambassadors. For more information and

composite of economic activities including transportation, recreation,
retail, lodging and food & beverage sector.
