ABOUT

Building Value Downtown

Downtown Sacramento Partnership cultivates a thriving district where culture, commerce, and community collide.

Crafting Downtown's Future

Downtown Sacramento Partnership (DSP) is a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to harnessing downtown’s full potential since 1995. DSP was the first Property Based Improvement District (PBID) in California, and crafted the legislation that enabled communities to invest in their downtown cores.

Sacramento has changed significantly since 1995. What was once an almost exclusively daytime business center has transitioned to the central social hub. Downtown Sacramento Partnership is responsible for crafting the vision for downtown. In the short-term, we keep the streets clean & safe, host community events, and help entrepreneurs thrive. In the long-term, we champion projects that fundamentally transform downtown, and we advocate tirelessly for forward-thinking policies.

Sacramento’s next chapter is just beginning, and it’s being written downtown. As the spot for world-class entertainment, national sports leagues, and the best food in the country, we invite you to write your story downtown.
