PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno

The excitement of change is in the air this fall as property owners in Downtown Fresno prepare for the launch of PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno, your property-based business improvement district.

Ballots have been mailed and property owners are voting to select the first PBID Board of Directors. If you are a property owner who did not receive a ballot, please call 559.490.9966 x11. Ballots must be received by 5:00 pm on Monday, Dec 6.

With the formation of a property-based assessment district, Downtown property owners have made a strong statement of support for Downtown revitalization through a public/private partnership. The new PBID Partners of Downtown Fresno (replacing Downtown Association of Fresno) will begin operations on January 1, 2011, quickly followed by election of officers for the new board, and a strategic planning session to set the course for the PBID’s first year. Plans for the coming year will focus in three general areas:

•    Economic Enhancements

•    Environmental Enhancements

•    Fulton Mall Activation

These new programs and projects will complement the many events already popular in Downtown Fresno, including SUDZ in the City, regular Plant and Clean volunteer days, and cultural events like Cinco de Mayo, A Taste of Armenia and RevFest.

The upcoming State of Downtown Breakfast on January 25 serves as the first corporate Annual Meeting of the new Downtown Fresno PBID. Join downtown property owners as they usher in a new era of private sector leadership.  Breakfast highlights will include the swearing-in of the PBID's inaugural directors and officers.
