The Downtown Denver Business Improvement District
(BID) is a public organization funded by private
commercial property owners. The BID goes above
and beyond the basic level of care and maintenance
provided by the city to deliver a clean, safe, and
vibrant Downtown Denver environment. Guided by the
2007 Downtown Area Plan, the BID’s mission is to
continuously shape vibrant, engaging spaces where
people want to be.

Through maintenance and operations, safety initiatives, economic development, pedestrian environment enhancements, targeted visitor marketing and communications, as well as holiday events, lighting and decor that attract thousands of visitors each year, the BID continues to ensure that Downtown Denver is a world-class city, to the benefit of residents, employees, and visitors.
Downtown Denver's economy is thriving, and the BID works to build on this momentum to further strengthen the commercial core through assisting in funding various business recruitment and retention efforts, including leasing assistance, conducting surveys, and disseminating Downtown research and information.
Every day and every hour of the year, BID representatives provide continuous attention to detail and fund programs including a Private Security Team, sidewalk cleaning, trash and graffiti removal, as well as inspections of sidewalks, alleys, planters and lighting.
Creating an inviting pedestrian environment to stimulate economic activity is a primary goal of the BID. This is why the BID invests in trees, flower planters, streetscape enhancements, banners and wayfinder signs throughout the District, as well as in activities and events on the 16th Street Mall.
