The Downtown Alliance is a non-profit organization serving the downtown property owners, businesses, and residents. Our mission is to build a dynamic and diverse community that is the regional center for culture, commerce and entertainment.
Established in 1991, the Downtown Alliance represents more than 2,500 business and property owners in the Central Business District, which is bounded by North Temple, 500 West, 400 South, and 200 East. A special assessment on downtown properties helps to fund the Downtown Alliance. Our approximately $1 million budget is comprised of 60% special assessment funds and 40% sponsorships, donations and partnerships with other organizations.
The Downtown Alliance became a strategic partner of the Salt Lake Chamber in 2003.
