Downtown Davenport Partnership

Downtown Davenport Partnership, a division of the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce, is a non-profit organization focused on the strategic growth and beautification of historic downtown Davenport. As administrators of the Self Supporting Municipal Improvement District (SSMID), the Downtown Davenport Partnership provides leadership and advocacy for downtown economic development, planning, cultural vitality, events, marketing, and clean-and-safe initiatives. What is a SSMID? A SSMID is a defined area within which businesses pay an additional fee to fund improvements and enhanced services within the district's boundaries. The services provided by SSMID are supplemental to those already provided by the municipality. The SSMID is funded by downtown property owners through a fee structure based on assessed value.
