Downtown Businesses Approve Continuation of Enhanced Services Provided by DTID through 2015
The Downtown Toledo Improvement District (DTID) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the completion of the renewal process for the Downtown Toledo Special Improvement District (SID). The Toledo City Council voted to certify the formation of a special assessment in the Downtown Toledo area for enhanced services for the stakeholders of downtown. The downtown Toledo (SID), also known as the Downtown Toledo Improvement District (the District) will continue working to improve the appearance, safety and marketing of downtown Toledo for another five years. (January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015.)
"We owe special thanks to the downtown Toledo property owners whose support for the work of DTID will allow us to continue provision of cleaning and safety services as well as promotion of downtown for years to come," said John Eberly, Board Chairman. District members signed petitions representing nearly 70% of the front footage in the District. This was the first essential step towards renewing the District.
Additional emphasis for the new five-year term will be on economic development and growth for businesses in Downtown, as well as building stronger relationships with the Greater Downtown Business Partnership and other organizations promoting a vibrant downtown Toledo.
