Services
The Partnership is a non-profit business improvement district (BID) where area property owners assess themselves additional fees to pay for maintenance, security, and marketing services above those provided by the city. The organization operates a clean team to remove trash and graffiti and a safety ambassador crew to help deter crime. The collective power of bringing together all businesses, non-profit institutions, and service organizations has helped the district work very effectively with local government organizations and bring innovative streetscape, beautification, and cultural amenities to the area.
