Information
The Lloyd District is one of three Enhanced Services Districts where property management license fees are collected in order to fund enhanced services such as trash cleanup, events, visitor attraction, and business development.
About Enhanced Services Districts
The City of Portland Enhanced Services Districts (ESD) Program is governed by City Code 6.06 and overseen by the City's ESD Coordinator. There are thousands of place management districts across North America that go by many different names, including Business Improvement Areas (BIAs), Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Community Benefit Districts (CBDs), Economic Improvement Districts (EIDs), Public Improvement Districts (PIDs), and so forth; in Portland, they are known as Enhanced Services Districts or ESDs. ESDs are intended to expand upon basic city services, adding economic resiliency, vibrancy, and vitality to a district.
To learn more about the ESD Program, visit the City's ESD Program webpage where you will find the ESD Handbook, ESD contracts, quarterly ESD program stats, Annual Reports, and information about the property management license fee.
About the Lloyd ESD
In 2001, property owners within the Lloyd District banded together to address the needs of the community by creating the Lloyd Enhanced Service District. This Enhanced Services District (ESD) is meant to augment the City services within the District and is funded through license fees paid by the property owners. The Lloyd ESD and the associated license fees have continued to be supported by the property owners to date.
Over the past 22 years, the Lloyd ESD created and funded the first designated EcoDistrict in Portland, rallied the community to bring the Portland Streetcar to the Eastside, and assisted in the development and funding of the Earl Blumenauer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge. More recently, the Lloyd ESD has been providing the District with valuable services, including:
- Funding the Transportation Management Association known as Go Lloyd, which supports transportation options for the District
- Funding the Lloyd EcoDistrict which supports the District through placemaking and community building
- Funding the Lloyd Community Association which promotes the Lloyd District as a desirable place to live and visit
- Maintaining the Holladay Street greenspace, enhancing the beauty along a major corridor in the District
- Funding the non-profit Right 2 Dream Too rest area, supporting temporary accommodations for those experiencing houselessness
- Cleaning services with ambassadorial duties, that will remove trash, needles, biohazards, and discarded furniture from the public rights-of-way
The Lloyd District is managed in partnership with Lloyd ESD and has 77 ratepayers. The district’s most recent sunset renewal occurred in January 2024.
