COMMENT ON FUTURE PRIORITIES OF DOWNTOWN TUCSON - Help determine the future of Downtown Tucson by completing a survey (link below) from the Downtown Tucson Partnership (DTP) and its partners. This survey is intended to inform a strategic planning process for DTP, which will guide its work over the next five years. Your input will help identify priorities to help decide where the organization will focus its time and resources moving forward. The DTP is a nonprofit, 501(c)(6) corporation created in 1998 to implement a variety of enhanced municipal services for the downtown Business Improvement District (BID). The BID is a 54-block area in the heart of Tucson's urban core. It was approved and funded by property owners in 1998 pursuant to state statute.
