Fisherman's Wharf of San Francisco
 
 
 
The formation of the Community Benefit District for San Franciso's Fisherman’s Wharf was overwhelmingly approved by property owners in the area. The Fisherman's Wharf CBD was ratified by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in April 2005. The funding raised through the assessments is being used to enhance, beautify, clean, market and to begin urban planning in Fisherman's Wharf.
 
In May of 2006, the FWCBD received notification of acceptance of their request for 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, which allows the organization to apply for federal, state and locally funded grants, as well as to seek out sponsorships from companies with a philanthropic division.
 
The Fisherman's Wharf CBD formed the port-side business based Community Benefit District in December of 2006. With the strength of both the land and port-side CBD’s, the Wharf community will develop marketing, security, urban planning, way finding signage and emergency preparedness programs. The Community Benefit District has also served as a catalyst for unification of Fisherman's Wharf constituents to support a positive change to their San Francisco neighborhood.
 
The purpose of the Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District is to preserve and enhance its vast San Francisco waterfront landscape and multi-cultural heritage, while integrating modern efficiencies to enrich the experience of visitors from both near and far through:
 
Market Research
Brand and Destination Marketing
Sidewalk Operations, Beautification and Order
Traffic and Urban Planning
Emergency Preparedness
