The mission of the Midtown Association is to make Midtown the center for culture, creativity and vibrancy in Sacramento’s urban core.
The Midtown Property Based Improvement District (PBID) was created in 2008 as a partnership between the public and private sector for the improvement of a specific commercial area. The PBID services are structured by the PBID Management Plan.
In 2012, the PBID successfully renewed for a second five year term with 76% of the ballots returned in favor of the district.
In 2014, the Midtown Association and PBID merged. The organization’s official title is now the Midtown Association d.b.a. the Midtown Association PBID.
In 2017, the Midtown Association PBID renewal is up.
Typically held quarterly, the Board of Directors meets to ensure compliance with the PBID Management Plan, provide support to major initiatives or developments, and to conduct the annual business of the corporation including audit and elections.
