The Service Plan
A service plan is the district’s legally adopted roadmap. It explains what extra services and improvements will be delivered inside the district, how they’ll be paid for, who benefits and who pays, and how success will be measured. Think of it as the contract-of-expectations between property owners, the district board, and local government. Select the button below to see the BID Service plan.
