Established by Town ordinance in 1996, the Downtown District Improvement Commission (DIDC) meets annually (typically in December) to develop the budget for the Downtown Improvement District for the coming fiscal year and make a recommendation to the Selectboard regarding the tax rate to be assessed to businesses within the District for making planned improvements. The Commission may also meet from time to time during the year to review and prioritize proposed improvement projects that will provide a public benefit to the assessed properties within the District.
