About the
Davis Downtown Business Association

Downtown Davis is a 32-block Business Improvement District (DBID) formed in 1989. The DBID empowers business license holders in the defined area to self-assess annual fees to ensure the economic well-being of the district. Activities of the DBID include marketing, events and advocacy. The below map demonstrates the Downtown Davis DBID boundaries.

The Davis Downtown Business Association (DDBA) was organized concurrent with the formation of the DBID in 1989, and is the entity approved each year by the Davis City Council to execute the business of the DBID. A 9-member Board of Directors, elected each February by the DDBA membership, guides the vision and mission of the organization.

The day-to-day operations of Davis Downtown are overseen by an executive director and a project manager. Specialized consultants assist DDBA staff with marketing, outreach, and event coordination efforts.
