Programs & Projects

Downtown Vision is dedicated to serving our stakeholders, making Downtown cleaner, safer, friendlier and easier to get around, and bringing more people Downtown.  Our major programs and projects include the following:

Downtown Stakeholder Support

Downtown Vision provides support as needed to Downtown stakeholders, responding to hundreds of requests for advocacy, information and problem resolution assistance.

Downtown Ambassadors

Our Downtown Ambassadors are paid and trained staff that serve as an extra set of eyes and ears to make Downtown more comfortable and friendly.  The Ambassadors also work to pick up litter and keep the streets clean.  Easily recognized by their orange shirts and pith helmets, the Downtown Ambassadors patrol the Downtown Improvement District seven days a week.
