Downtown Redding Property-Based Improvement District
The City of Redding is evaluating the potential formation of a Property-Based Improvement District, or PBID, for Downtown Redding.
A PBID could provide locally directed funding for services and improvements beyond those ordinarily provided by the City. Potential services may include enhanced cleaning, safety initiatives, beautification, maintenance, marketing, and improvements to public spaces.
Project Status
The City is preparing to resume planning and stakeholder outreach for the potential Downtown Redding PBID.
Initial work will focus on discussing potential services and budget priorities with Downtown Redding property owners and other stakeholders. This input will help inform the proposed service plan, budget, and technical analysis for the project.
Additional information and opportunities to participate will be posted here as the project progresses.

Background
Downtown Redding has experienced significant public and private investment, including new housing, businesses, public spaces, transportation improvements, and other downtown development.
The City is exploring whether a PBID could provide an ongoing, locally directed funding source for supplemental services that support Downtown Redding properties, businesses, residents, and visitors.

What Is a PBID?
A Property-Based Improvement District is a defined area in which property owners may approve an assessment to fund services and improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the district.
A PBID does not replace services ordinarily provided by the City. Instead, it can fund additional services tailored to the priorities and needs of the district.
Potential services may include:
- Enhanced street and sidewalk cleaning
- Public safety or security programs
- Landscaping and beautification
- Maintenance of public spaces and amenities
- Downtown marketing, promotion, and events
- Other services benefiting properties within the district
The specific services and budget for the Downtown Redding PBID will be developed through the planning and stakeholder engagement process.
