About Main St CID and the Board

History

According to Missouri State Statute, Community Improvement Districts (CIDs) allow property owners to tax themselves in order to supplement city-provided services such as policing and maintaining public areas. As an investment tool, they not only enhance city services and public investment, but leverage greater private resources as well.

The Main Street Corridor Land Use & Development Plan was approved by the City Council in 2003 as an unfunded mandate. In 2005 MainCor committee members identified a Community Improvement District (CID) as a sustainable funding mechanism capable of maintaining and increasing the value of the public and private land within the MainCor boundaries.

A survey was sent to all property owners to help establish service levels. Volunteer block captains along each block helped build the necessary support for the creation of the district. These Main Street stakeholders later became the CID Steering Committee who saw the CID approved by the City Council in 2006. The Main Street CID has an eight year sunset, at which point it can be renewed.
