The proposed Downtown Fresno Property-Based Business Improvement District (PBID) will be a special benefit assessment district that conveys special benefits to the properties located within the district boundaries.

As described in this plan, it is proposed that the PBID will provide economic development and environmental enhancement programs, above and beyond those provided by the City of Fresno.  This approach has been used successfully in downtowns throughout California and the nation, helping to improve sales, occupancies and values.
