The Minneapolis Downtown Council (MDC) and its partner, the Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District (DID), operate as a nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the vitality, safety, cleanliness, and hospitality of downtown Minneapolis. Their activities center on advocacy, leadership, and collaboration to align a broad coalition of businesses and organizations around a shared vision for a vibrant urban core. The effort is guided by Downtown by Design, MDC’s 2035 plan, which emphasizes inclusive growth, economic vitality, and the development of accessible public spaces. A visible element of their work is the Downtown Ambassadors, who perform on-the-ground tasks that improve the daily experience of residents, workers, and visitors in the downtown area. The organization positions itself as a steward of downtown Minneapolis, aiming to make the district welcoming and thriving for the long term.
