Municipal Management Districts
Improving Communities Through Strategic Public Investment
Originally designed to help taxpayers beautify their neighborhoods and strengthen local economies, Municipal Management Districts (MMDs) have evolved to serve three distinct purposes: supporting major activity centers, promoting neighborhood revitalization, and facilitating the development of raw land.
