Town Center CommunityOur role in the community is twofold. As a Community Improvement District, we invest in infrastructure projects that increase property values in the district. The Alliance, our nonprofit partner, works in the community to provide programs and improvements that help our members thrive in Town Center.

Our role in the business community is to connect the businesses in our district with the resources they need to grow with us. For our business members, we facilitate relationships with our partners from across the County to help address complex challenges and questions, offer opportunities to engage with the community, and help build visibility within the district. 

The Town Center Community Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on bringing quality-of-life improvements and programs to the Town Center Community. The Alliance is run by a board of directors and relies on donations from the public, community partners, corporate sponsors, and the Town Center CID to fully fund and develop projects and programs. From public art and aesthetic fixtures to small parks and bikeshare, our efforts help attract businesses and residents to the area, boost economic development and shape a sense of community.
