Why Consider a CID?

](1) Increase Property Values

](2) For Mutual Benefit

Office parks and shopping malls are developed, managed and marketed by a single management company. By contrast, ownership of downtown buildings is divided among 90+ individuals...

...This situation makes it difficult to accomplish such tasks as advocating downtown interests, providing enhanced safety, promoting the downtown product, promoting downtown as a destination, and gathering and disseminating pertinent data on downtown’s progress. Such obstacles can easily be overcome by property owners working together and collaborating on initiatives FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
