What City Center Partnership Inc does
Mission
Improving the economic vitality of the city center requires a strategy that engages every major stakeholder group. A key role for the city center partnership (ccp) in that strategy is to ensure open communication among business improvement district (bid) stakeholders and to help clarify people's expectations. Ccp represents the property owners in the bid as we address issues and pursue downtown development for the area now known as the main street district.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The main street district provides clean & safe and beautification services within the municipal improvement district, including enhanced maintenance of common property such as sidewalks and landscaped areas, safety and security, outreach for the unsheltered population, marketing, placemaking and advocacy. Last year, 122,412 pounds of trash and 97 block faces of graffiti were removed from public areas in the district. The clean & safe yellow shirt ambassador team conducted 48 hours of power washing, and 470 hours of vacuuming leaves and other debris out of the streets. The ambassadors assisted with clean-up after many major events in the main street district (I.e., soda city market), and offered supplemental services to the city (I.e., mowing grassy areas). Seasonal plantings for 152 hanging baskets and 89 large planters were conducted in the spring and fall, and plantings were watered weekly.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $892k to $1.2M (+39%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of CITY CENTER PARTNERSHIP INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
