About the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District
Keeping Downtown Clean, Safe and Beautiful
The Downtown Denver BID was formed in 1992 at the initiative of downtown property owners. For over 30 years, the goals of the Downtown Denver BID are to care for the downtown environment, supplementing basic City services; creating a clean, safe and welcoming space where people want to spend their time, businesses thrive and property owners experience high tenancy rates.
The DDBID was renewed in 2021, this DDBID renewal was more important than ever. As Downtown Denver focuses on economic resiliency and recovery, having an inviting and activated downtown designed for businesses, residents and visitors alike, is what will set Denver apart in the years ahead.
Clean
Maintaining a clean and beautiful downtown is integral to downtown Denver’s success. Our services are supplemental to those provided by the City & County of Denver, ensuring downtown goes beyond clean - it’s inviting. Services include: sidewalk pressure washing, trash pickup, landscaping, graffiti removal, beautification and more, all of which provide unique benefits to downtown.
We create a comfortable, welcoming place that people can be proud of, driving local and visitor traffic day after day. A place that invites people to stay longer and enjoy our beautiful downtown.
Beautiful & Sustainable
Creating an inviting pedestrian environment to provide a welcoming space for everyone is a primary goal of the Downtown Denver BID.
This is why our investments are focused on trees, flower planters, streetscape enhancements, banners and wayfinder signs throughout the District, as well as in activities and events on 16th Street.
A welcoming environment stimulates the economy supporting local businesses, the city and region, holistically.

Outreach
Safety and public health remain at the forefront of the Partnership's agenda, which is why we continue to invest in efforts to provide assistance and resources to individuals experiencing homelessness in Downtown Denver.
By implementing street outreach services, we're actively assisting individuals in challenging situations while enhancing the safety and vitality of our downtown environment.
Our PRIORITIES
Economic Development
The Downtown Denver BID’s economic development initiatives help make downtown attractive for employers, workers, visitors and residents, alike.
The District provides funding and resources to help support business recruitment and retention efforts, including research to help prospective property owners and managers to better understand the downtown environment, people and opportunities that advance the downtown community’s economic viability.
