SSMID Economic Impact

Public Improvement efforts of Main Street Fort Dodge are partially funded by the Downtown Fort Dodge Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District (SSMID). Created in 1982, and renewed every 10 years since, the Downtown SSMID has lead revitalization efforts in historic downtown Fort Dodge, most recently through the implementation of the Downtown Plan. Some of the initiatives of this Plan that have been implemented include:

Adoption of Downtown Design Guidelines
Landscape projects and streetscape maintenance
Creation of Market on Central
