about the CID
What is a CID?
A Community Improvement District (CID) is the most powerful public-private partnership tool today that is used successfully to revitalize activity centers. It is a proven and effective method for financing improvements that directly enhance property values by allowing property owners to determine how funds are spent in their area. CID funds can augment existing services such as public safety and they can also be used to leverage additional public and private funds. Conservatively, CID funds can be used to leverage such funds at a ratio of 10 to 1.
West End CID Overview
The West End Community Improvement District (WECID) was established in 2017 and has highlighted itself as an improvement catalyst in the area. A board of directors, comprised of commercial property owners, leads the CID and is committed to enhancing the West End community.
​
The CID is leading the effort to expedite public safety, beautification and economic improvement strategies for the benefit of businesses, employees and visitors to the West End community.
