Douglas Development Partnership

Douglas Development Partnership is a non profit making company limited by guarantee which has been established in partnership between Douglas Corporation and the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce.  The Partnership is funded by the local authority and through the subscription of local businesses.

The Partnership aims to improve the image and environment of the island's capital making it an even better place to live, work and visit by working with other organisations to develop and deliver projects and by improving levels of communication and co-ordination between partners.

One of the Partnership's priority areas is the Quayside.  The first phase of the improvements to North Quay is now complete.  Phase 2 is due for completion in October 2007.
