The City Center of Downtown Charleston:
Where Ambition Meets Action

Welcome to our City Center Business Improvement District (BID), where we work together to improve the economic vitality and quality of life in our local community. Our BID is a coalition of property owners working with local business owners, government and community members who collaborate to enhance the district's physical appearance, safety, and marketing efforts. We strive to create a vibrant and welcoming environment for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. Thank you for your interest in our BID, and we invite you to explore all that our district has to offer.

A Message From Our Board President

No matter where I go around town, people always comment about the buzz going on in the BID. The recent success of Holly Jolly Brawley, Fife Street Brewing and City Center Live all are making the central business district the place to be. We very much appreciate our property owners having the vision to reinvest in their community because it has generated real momentum. This year we will be starting on new public art projects, investing in streetscapes, and improving pedestrian safety along our streets. To learn more about how we’re investing in the future of Downtown Charleston, reach out! We’d love to hear from you.
