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.
