2016-2026 Service Plan

This document is a Ten Year Service, Improvement, and Assessment Plan (Service Plan) put into effect for fiscal years 2016-2026. This Service Pan sets forth the vision, goals to be achieved, services to be rendered, and improvements to be made in support of the property owners within the boundaries of the East Downtown Management District (the “District” or “EDMD”) located in Houston, TX, just east of Houston’s Central Business District, consisting of 784 acres or 1.225 square miles. This Service Plan also outlines costs and a proposal for funding the plan for the area managed by the District. This Service Plan succeeds the previous Service, Improvement, and Assessment Plan (the 2012-2016 Plan). A public hearing on the proposed Service Plan was called after the required signed petitions in support of the Service Plan are received from at least 50 owners of land within the District. Following the public hearing, the Service Plan was considered and adopted by the District’s Board of Directors. In this Service Plan, the property owners seek to:

• Present a unified voice for themselves, business owners, tenants and residents
• Maximize existing government services, and supplement these services when and where 
necessary
• Render continuous, focused, professional management of the needs of the District
• Provide equitable project funding for District services and improvements
• Maintain the District as a distinctive place in which to start and grow a business, to live, to invest and to entertain and recreate.
