What Programs Does the Downtown Missoula BID Oversee?

With a focus on clean, safe, and economic vitality, the BID is responsible for garbage and recycling, graffiti and snow removal, hospitality services, business development initiatives, research, and more for Downtown Missoula. The Downtown Maintenance Team, Clean Team, and Downtown Dedicated Police Officers are all funded by the BID and its 600+ property owners.

When Was the Downtown Missoula Business Improvement District Formed? 

The Downtown Business Improvement District was created in 2005 to unify Missoula Downtown property owners regarding the maintenance and management of Downtown’s common-area space. In 2020 the BID Assessment was renewed for another ten years by a vote of Downtown property owners and approved by Missoula City Council.
