Services

Providing a safer, cleaner, and more aesthetically appealing Downtown that residents and visitors will enjoy, means working to create the environment we want to see. To accomplish this goal, we’ve hired Ambassadors who will move around Downtown pressure washing sidewalks, cleaning up graffiti and litter, clearing out homeless encampments, and conducting other activities to ensure a Downtown we’re all proud of.
