Charleston City Center

Charleston City Center Charleston Area Alliance provides administrative and technical support for the BID.

The City Center Business Improvement District (BID) is a multi-block district of Downtown Charleston, WV (including Summers, Washington, Court & Virginia Streets) formed in 2021. The City Center Business Improvement District (BID) encompasses a large section of Downtown Charleston, WV, including Summers, Washington, Court & Virginia Streets. It was formed in September 2021 by Charleston City Council after the majority of private property owners within the district petitioned the city in favor of the BID. The property owners assess themselves a fee to support public enhancements such as safety, streetscape and art as well as branding and business development opportunities. The City Center BID Board of Directors employs a BID Ambassador charged with patrolling the district daily and assisting with maintenance issues, safety, visitor services and more.
