ALLISON ORR OF DOWNTOWN WHEATON SHARES WHAT SHE LOVES LOCALLY DURING THE SUMMER

WHEATON–When Allison and her husband moved to Wheaton in 2020, she quickly immersed herself in the community. As Executive Director of the Downtown Wheaton Association, she is responsible for the marketing and economic growth of Wheaton’s central business district.

“Through a variety of events and promotions, we bridge the gap between the Wheaton residential community and the Downtown Wheaton business community, while serving our business owners in a variety of ways on a day-to-day basis,” she says. “I love supporting entrepreneurs and I’m so lucky to serve the community that I call home.”

Allison takes pride in her community and her role as a resident – she’s excited to support local this summer, taking her son to visit the many Wheaton’s parks, the Wheaton French Market, as well as the DuPage Children’s Museum. They also love dining locally at the Innovator Hale Street Tents, stopping for ice cream at Kimmer’s, and shopping throughout Downtown Wheaton.

This upcoming summer is all about making memories with her husband and son.
