The DowntownDC Business Improvement District regularly collects detailed research and reports on commercial and residential property information, key economic and performance indicators, infrastructure and critical issues topics.
- 2021 State of Downtown Report – This annual report, known as the definitive report on Downtown’s economy, is created by the BID’s Economic Development department and produced and edited by the Communications Department.
- 2021 Annual Report – Each year, the BID is required by law to produce an annual report including a financial statement, a proposed budget, goals and objectives. The BID communications team creates this report and uses it as an opportunity to create a useful, well-designed document. The BID in 2015 added an interactive online website to accompany the report.
