The Downtown St. Louis Community Improvement District (the CID) is a 165 square block area within downtown St. Louis where property owners assess themselves in order to fund services and programs over and above those provided by city government. These services address public safety, maintenance, beautification, economic development and marketing within the District.  For a description of services and summary of recent activities, click here.

As a property owner or downtown stakeholder your feedback is critical in helping us to identify how to better serve our diverse constituency. Completing this survey will help us evaluate the effectiveness and value of current CID services and prioritize services that should be expanded, reduced, eliminated or added in the next CID management plan. In addition to this survey, we will provide a number of opportunities for input as we move through the CID renewal process in the year ahead. Stakeholders are encouraged to attend our annual spring and fall CID property owners’ meetings or contact us anytime by phone (314-436-6500) or email.

Background on the Downtown CID

The Downtown St. Louis Community Improvement District was initially established in January 2000 for a five year term thru December 2004. The District has since been renewed for an additional seven year term commencing January 1, 2005 and continuing through December 2011.

Developed by downtown property owners, the Downtown St. Louis Community Improvement District is structured to improve and convey special benefits to properties located within the boundaries of the CID. The Community Improvement District provides new and enhanced improvements and activities, including: maintenance, security, marketing/communications, streetscape improvements, landscaping services, economic and housing development, and special events above and beyond those currently provided by the City.
