The Downtown Reno Partnership is a new business improvement district tasked with making downtown Reno a safer, cleaner, friendlier district for residents and visitors. The Downtown Reno Partnership is a 501(c)6 nonprofit entity funded by downtown-area property assessments and contributions. Those funds pay for operations, street maintenance administered by Reno Public Works, extra downtown Reno police officers, Streetplus-administered ambassadors and internal marketing. Our goal is to change the feel of the district, increase resident and visitor traffic and develop new businesses.
