Centro San Antonio Announces New Vendor Partnership and New Service Areas
The downtown public
improvement district will now be serviced by Block by Block, with coverage on
the west side expanding
Today, Centro San Antonio, the public improvement district for downtown San Antonio, announced a new partnership with Block by Block, a leading third party provider of downtown public improvement district services.
Selected from a competitive proposal process, Block by Block will provide staffing, logistics, supervision, and ongoing management for the public service representative and sidewalk maintenance programs, better known as the Maintenance Amigo and Ambassador Amigo programs of Centro San Antonio. The partnership effectively combines what were formally separate contracts for Maintenance Amigos and Ambassador Amigos, and creates an integrated hospitality and cleaning program that streamlines administration, communications, training and costs.
Centro President Ben Brewer remarked, “Block by Block’s outstanding reputation precedes them from the 34 other urban districts they manage across the country. They bring a host of best practices for us to benefit from as we continue to make downtown a better place to live, work, eat and be entertained.”
Also beginning today, Centro has expanded its service area to include a west side extension of the Public Improvement District (PID) boundaries, which now includes the area between North Flores and I-35 from Dolorosa Street north to the boundary of W. Houston, Santa Rosa and W. Travis.
In addition to the services that will be provided by Block by Block, Centro San Antonio’s landscaping and Streetscaping program will continue to be serviced by ISS Grounds Control.
