The Providence Downtown
Improvement District
Our mission: to continuously enhance
the quality of life in downtown
Providence.
Since February 2005, the Providence Downtown
Improvement District (DID) has provided supplemental
clean and safe services downtown. We are advocates
for major initiatives—like streetscape and sidewalk
improvements—and we also manage downtown
landscaping, hospitality, marketing and economic
development projects. Our programs enhance existing
city services, giving special attention to the area bounded
by Route 95, Memorial Boulevard, Citizens Plaza, the
Providence River, and the former 195. DID projects are
funded by an assessment on downtown property owners
and are managed by our Board of Directors.
