The Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) drives Downtown’s role as the economic, cultural, and governmental core of our city and county.
The DMC is funded by an assessment on commercial property in the Central Business Improvement District (CBID), which is reinvested into funding incentives and activations designed to support the growth of both Downtown’s population and appraised commercial property values.
Through our investment in Downtown development, infrastructure, vibrancy, and activation, we are creating a stronger Downtown Memphis—a Downtown for everyone.
1) an increase in the number of people living, working and engaging in Downtown, and
2) an increase in Downtown commercial property values
To accomplish these goals, the DMC implements a variety of programs and tools to foster development and investment and to make Downtown active, walkable, clean, safe, inclusive, and interesting. View our programs and our boundary map.
