DCIC Board
By Ohio law, any group of stakeholders seeking to establish a
SID must first establish a corporation that will represent the
interests of the potential SID. In order to create a Special
Improvement District for downtown Cleveland, the Downtown Cleveland
Improvement Corporation (DCIC) was formed.
The work of DCIC is guided by more than 150 SID members and a 23
person Board of Directors. DCIC's Board is responsible for deciding
how assessment dollars are used. Based on member input, guidance
for use of SID funds is set. Then DCIC, through it's contract
relationship with the non-profit Downtown Cleveland Alliance,
directs DCA how to spend the assesment funds to provide programs
and initiatives for the district. The DCIC Board was formed in
2005, and represents all geographic areas of the SID. Board members
serve three-year terms, and vacancies are filled through
elections.
