Clean & Green Team Mamber at Downtown Phoenix Inc – Phoenix, Arizona

The core of downtown Phoenix is an Enhanced Municipal Services District (EMSD). The Operations department works to curate the public realm within the district. We shape the “look and feel” of downtown through four main service areas: Security & Hospitality, Place making & Streetscape Maintenance, Parking & Transportation, and Stakeholder Engagement.
