The Los Angeles City Council has instructed the City Clerk to sign a petition for the renewal of the Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District (BID). This action signifies the City's support for the continuation of the BID, which provides services such as 'Clean and Safe' programs, economic development and marketing, and management services. The City of Los Angeles owns several parcels within the BID's boundaries and is therefore a key stakeholder in its renewal process. The renewal will allow the BID to continue its efforts to improve safety, increase building occupancy and lease rates, encourage new business development, and attract ancillary services to the district.
