Mission

Improve and convey special benefits to properties beyond what is currently provided within the central business district of century city. Activities include the clean, safe and beautiful project and the management program.

What it reported doing in 2025

Clean, safe and beautiful projectthe ccbid engages in activities that make each individual assessed parcel cleaner and safer by engaging in programs that deter crime and clean the public rights-of-way; and improve and landscape the physical appearance of the medians, landscaped corridors, fountains and pedestrian walkways. This year we focused on two big projects: the century city sign installation landscape and electrical installation and continued improvements to our two iconic fountains on avenue of the starts. We also have developed an extensive plan to improve community safety and communication protocols for when the century city metro stop opens.
