1. Where is the DDA jurisdiction?

The Downtown Development Authority is authorized to work within an area designated by the Mayor & Council as the Downtown Development Area. The boundaries of this area are almost co-terminus with the Downtown Madison's Special Tax District, also known as the Central Business District Special Tax District (CBD-STD). DDA Map

2. Are there any downtown special tax districts (STDs, BIDs, TADs)?

Yes, there is a special tax district for Downtown Madison, the Central Business District Special Tax District (CBD-STD), established to offset the expenses for downtown improvements. The CBD-STD is the service delivery area for the Madison Main Street program, and its boundaries are almost co-terminus with those of the DDA.

Madison has another special tax district out at the General Commercial Corridor, the Interstate 20 (I20-STD), established to offset the cost of Interchange lighting in order to attract night customers and travelers. CBD-STD Map
