A Comprehensive Downtown Revitalization Program:

Downtown Spokane Partnership (DSP)
The DSP is a private, non-profit membership organization that serves as Spokane's central city advocate and service provider, dedicated to enhancing the quality and vitality of Downtown Spokane as the basis for a healthy region. The DSP accomplishes its mission through advocating for public policies, business and

project development, quality planning, physical improvement projects, public safety, beautification, and marketing programs that ensure Downtown's continued success. The DSP implements a comprehensive set of action items to strengthen Downtown Spokane as a place to live, work, and invest. Downtown Spokane Business Improvement District (BID)
The BID was created by Spokane City Council in July 1995 and reauthorized in 2001 at the request of the area's business and property owners. The City of Spokane hires the DSP to administer the BID on the City's behalf to deliver enhanced services including clean, safe, promotions, and parking in order to make Downtown a more attractive place to visit, shop, and invest. Comprising approximately 80 blocks of the Central Business District, the BID boundaries are generally Maple to Browne, and the Railroad Viaduct to North River Drive. More than 900 businesses and 425 property owners are contained within the area. Special assessments of over $1,000,000 from within the BID fund activities, programs, and management. Property assessments are based on land and improvement values and businesses are assessed based upon square footage, use, and location. The BID maintains a pedestrian-friendly environment that provides clean, safe, and well-managed public spaces to enhance business activities and promote the whole Downtown experience. The BID encourages investment by providing the revenue and political will to keep commercial streets clean, safe, and economically vibrant. While the BID’s primary role is to fund and implement Enhanced Public Services, it is a critical component of the overall Downtown revitalization.
