Downtown Details...

Boston is known for having a complex, vivacious area known as Downtown Boston. This is the heart of Boston. Here, many companies have their headquarters stationed, and City Hall and the State House are both located in Downtown Boston as well. In Downtown Boston, the streets are filled with street performers, historic sites, and the public transit system.  

The Downtown Boston BID is also located in the city. The Downtown Boston BID is the first Business Improvement District in Boston, which is one of the last major cities in the United States to form a BID. BID was created due to hundreds of interested stakeholders committed to achieving downtown's destination to thrive.  In October of 2004, the city of Boston launched the Downtown Crossing Economic Initiative, whose mission was to restore downtown's culture, including the coordination of events, holiday decorations, etc.
