Special Improvement Districts, Downtown Columbus

Capital Crossroads and Discovery Special Improvement Districts were created by property owners in Downtown Columbus to provide services that support a safe, clean and vibrant downtown. Property owners in each special improvement district (SID) fund the program, and the board of trustees determines the focus. 

Capital Crossroads SID focuses on safety, cleaning, landscaping, homeless outreach, economic research, Downtown C-pass and the Pearl Market. Discovery SID focuses on safety, homeless outreach, economic research, first floor graffiti removal and creative placemaking.  

We're here to help!
