JCBD Management District Plan (April 2017)

The District will provide new improvements and activities, including both environmental and economic enhancements. Each of the activities is designed to meet the goals of the District; to improve the appearance and safety of the District, to increase building occupancy and lease rates, to encourage new business development and attract ancillary businesses and services. As described in the Management District Plan, it is proposed that the JCBD will provide funding for enhanced maintenance, safety, beautification and marketing programs, above and beyond those provided by the City of San Francisco.
