About the DIB
The Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) is an independent state agency funded by a special tax levy on properties within its district boundaries. The district consists of 40 blocks that encompass the urban core of downtown Pensacola. A five (5) member Board of Directors comprised of downtown property/business owners governs the agency and sets policy. Over 100 volunteers who are business/property owners and/or residents within the Downtown District serve on one or more of the eight committees that help guide the the DIB Board of Directors. The Board's policy direction is implemented by the Executive Director's oversight of a multi-disciplined management team.
