The French Creek Development Association was organized in 1993 as a not for profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the City of Avon's downtown district. As such, the Association strives towards two specific goals:
1.the insurance that Avon's heritage be maintained in an attempt to establish ties between past, current and future generations of residents;
2. that aesthetics and heritage should play a vital role in the future development of the French Creek District.

The French Creek Development Association is dedicated to the beautification of Avon through carefully designed and planned projects. The intent of such projects is to raise community awareness of Avon's past while fostering a sense of responsibility for Avon's future.

Through these efforts and those of its members, the French Creek Development Association is and will remain a cornerstone of Avon's future and a guardian of its past.
