SSA Program Overview

The Special Service Area (SSA) is an economic development tool that utilizes the levy of the real estate property tax in raising funds to provide special services for a targeted area. Property owners choose to tax themselves in order to provide these services. The services funded through the SSA tax are in addition to services generally provided by the City. These services must predominantly benefit those properties that are located within the boundaries of the SSA. Examples of special services include: sidewalk maintenance and beautification, landscaping, advertising and marketing, business recruitment/retention, parking, and safety programs.

Mission

To maintain and strengthen Clark Street as a vibrant commercial and residential district. To ensure the SSA District #23 is a clean and attractive environment for the community while fostering a collaborative partnership among all stakeholders.
