WASHINGTON AVENUE CORRIDOR CID

What is a cid?

A Community Improvement District (CID) is a special district that aims to enhance and develop a specific area within a city. It is typically formed by property owners and businesses to fund improvements and services that benefit the local community. CIDs can finance various projects such as:

  • Public infrastructure improvements (e.g., streets, sidewalks, parks)

  • Enhanced security measures

  • Beautification efforts

  • Special events and marketing initiatives

  • Economic development studies

CIDs are funded through special assessments, property taxes, or sales taxes within the district. They provide a way for communities to invest in their own development and create a more vibrant, attractive, and economically thriving area.

The Downtown North St. Louis CID is being established to support and enhance our neighborhood. More information about our specific goals, projects, and upcoming meetings will be posted here soon.
