Downtown Memphis Commission
The Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) capitalizes on and drives Downtown's role as the economic, cultural, and governmental core of the city and county.
The DMC is solely funded by an assessment on commercial property in the Central Business Improvement District (CBID), which is reinvested into funding incentives and activations designed to support growth of both Downtown’s population and appraised commercial property values.
Through our investment in Downtown development, infrastructure, vibrancy and activation, we are creating a stronger Downtown Memphis—a Downtown for everyone.
