About Us

Serving in the role of the city's concierge, Modesto D.I.D. promotes a positive atmosphere in the downtown by caring for the physical space.

What the district does

  • Upkeep of landscaping ensures that downtown Modesto is vibrant year-round.
  • Businesses that pay into Modesto D.I.D. can have graffiti removed or painted over free of charge.
  • Providing trash receptacles and trash removal services helps keep the downtown inviting.

Mission & funding

Our mission is to attract and retain business, employees, residents, and visitors to downtown Modesto. We are funded by downtown businesses that pay a D.I.D. Mill Tax. Revenues raised through the Mill Tax fund downtown improvements including promotion, beautification, alley reconstruction, parking, and graffiti removal. The Advisory Board considers improvements related to downtown and makes recommendations to the City Council.
