This dataset was originally created by the Office of Economic Development and the Mayor's Office to determine a core downtown business district to be utilized for planning purposes. The central business district boundary data layer is an integral part of the planning data in the Lexington-Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. This information is used by the Division of Planning in case review, enforcement, and long range planning. GIS data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. The native projection for the data is Kentucky State Plane North (NAD83), but may have been reprojected for use in other applications. Please check metadata to determine current projection.

This dataset consists of a set of 2D geofence polygons that are intended to capture the Manhattan CBD as defined by the MTA Reform and Traffic Mobility Act. That legislation defines it as the geographic area of Manhattan south of and inclusive of 60th Street, not including the Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) Drive and the West Side Highway/Route 9A, the Battery Park Underpass and any surface roadway portion of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel that connects to West Street (the West Side Highway/Route 9A).

DC Main Streets is a program through which the District government works with neighborhood organizations to revitalize the District's neighborhood business districts through a comprehensive and systemic strategy for business retention and attraction, commercial property improvements, and provision of coordinated corridor-wide services.Each year Main Street programs have at least $30,000 of funds to provide sub-grants and technical assistance to businesses in their corridor. These funds can be used for a variety of activities including direct cash assistance, signage and storefront improvements, interior renovations, social media marketing, accounting support, lease negotiations, etc.

Polygon dataset representing local New Orleans Historic Districts. Local historic districts are created to regulate, preserve, and protect historic districts and landmarks within the City of New Orleans and may or may not correspond to districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of 2007, there are 14 local historic districts within New Orleans/Orleans Parish, ten administered by the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission and four by the Central Business District Historic District Landmarks Commission. The City of New Orleans Department of Information Technology & Innovation creates, collects and stores GIS infrastructure and other data. Data are provided by various departments within the City, other government entities, utilities, and private enterprise. The primary purpose for maintaining this enterprise GIS is to provide spatial analysis, decision support and mapping services to all City Departments.

A. SUMMARY Community Benefit Districts (CBD), also known as Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), strive to improve the quality of life on commercial and mixed-use corridors. Each district is a partnership between the City and local communities. Local property owners vote to become a CBD and agree to pay an assessment. A nonprofit created by the neighborhood distributes the funding for various improvements. This dataset contains the location and other information on each Community Benefits District. See more information on CBD’s here. B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED The multi-polygons in this dataset were generated in ESRI ArcGIS based on the CBD boundaries. C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset will be reviewed annually. During this review process, the revenue data will be updated. It is also possible that the boundaries could be updated during this time. D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Use this dataset to understand the boundaries of each CBD and find links to additional information about them such as revenue generated from each CBD.

In 2006, Great Streets began as a three-prong, commercial revitalization initiative to transform emerging corridors throughout the District of Columbia into thriving and inviting neighborhood centers. Led by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) in conjunction with the Office of Planning (OP) and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Great Streets has grown into a multi-year, multi-agency program that utilizes public actions and resources to leverage private investment in retail, office space, housing, and cultural facilities across the District. The Government of the District of Columbia through the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) administers the Great Streets Retail Small Business Reimbursement Grants, which are competitive grants of up to $50,000 for qualified small business owners who wish to improve their place of business. The purpose of the grant program is to support existing small businesses, attract new businesses, increase the District's tax base, create new job opportunities for District residents, and transform emerging commercial corridors into thriving and inviting neighborhood centers.The Office of the Chief Technology Officer used DC Council Code § 2–1217.73. Retail Priority Areas to geographically display the areas. Visit https://greatstreets.dc.gov for more information.

In 2008, DHCD established the Maple Street designation as a complement to Main Street in order to encourage more investment in residential communities in and around Main Street districts. Four Maple Street communities have been designated to date: Cambridge, Cumberland, Dundalk and Westminster. Maple Street initiatives encourage residential revitalization projects near the business district that strengthen the relationship between downtown commercial districts and the surrounding neighborhoods.This is a MD iMAP hosted service layer.

More MetadataAt the July 3, 2012 Loudoun Board of Supervisor's Business Meeting, the Board agreed to be a funding partner with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) and Fairfax County for the Phase II extension of Metrorail to Dulles Airport and Ashburn. Loudoun County’s rail service districts were established on December 5, 2012 to fund the construction and maintenance of the stations, rail line, and rail related facilities and services. All parcels in the districts, residential and commercial, have a special property tax rate for funding of the rail. Tax collection for the districts is for Tax Year 2013 and future years.The boundaries of the Metrorail Service District were defined using physical features such as major roads and streams within two miles of stations. In some cases, parcel boundaries were used to develop the tax district boundary. The Route 606/Airport and Route 772 station service districts were defined using half-mile radii around the four proposed rail stations in or near Loudoun County: 1) Route 772, 2) Route 606, 3) Dulles Airport, and 4) Route 28. These radii were used as approximate guidelines. At the time the districts were established, the districts encompassed primarily commercial land. Only a few existing residential units were included within these districts at the time the districts were established.The features the boundaries follow may have been generalized due to scale and intended use.

Dataset SummaryThis is a polygon feature layer with the boundaries of the four quadrants of the city of Rochester. This geographic division is used for the service areas for the Neighborhood Service Centers (NSC's) as well as administration of other city programming and services.About the Neighborhood Service CentersThe Neighborhood Service Centers (NSCs) are based on the notion that the best way of responding to neighborhood issues is by teaming residents with City staff to devise and achieve effective solutions.This approach brings City government closer to its citizens and their neighborhoods so that quality of life issues can be addressed quickly and effectively.The City of Rochester has been divided into the four (4) geographic quadrants, each with its own Neighborhood Service Center. Each quadrant in the city also has its own Quadrant Team, an interdepartmental team of professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life in their assigned area. These cross-functional teams are intended to directly solve problems, establish community partnerships, and promote strength and growth in city neighborhoods. Teams meet regularly with community representatives to identify and prioritize issues.For more information please visit the City of Rochester's Neighborhood Service Centers (NSCs) website or the individual quadrant websites listed below:Northwest Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585)428-762071 Parkway - First FloorRochester, NY 14608Anna Keller, AdministratorNortheast Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585)428-7660500 Norton StRochester, NY 14621Marlen Quintero, AdministratorSouthwest Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center(585) 428-7630923 Genesee StRochester, NY 14611Charles Reaves, AdministratorSoutheast Quadrant Neighborhood Service Center (585) 428-7640320 N Goodman Street - Suite 209Rochester, NY 14607John McMahon, AdministratorDictionary: Quad: Quadrant of the City of Rochester where the Neighborhood Service Center (NSC) is located (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, Southeast).
