• The Lancaster Downtown Investment District Authority (DID) began operation in 1992 when property owners within the District granted their approval for its formation. Since that time, property owners, civic leaders and area businesses have supported DID programs to ensure that downtown Lancaster is safe, clean, attractive and vital.
  
• The DID is a nonprofit municipal authority which is dedicated to the continued economic vitality of downtown Lancaster. The DID operates under the Central Business District Authority Act which was signed into law by Governor Dick Thornburgh in 1980. This law allows downtown areas, with the prior approval of property owners, to set up special assessment districts like the DID which provide a reliable and equitable source of funding for downtown management programs.
