The Downtown Action Team is a private, non-profit membership organization dedicated to the revitalization of Downtown Albuquerque as the best mid-sized Downtown in the USA. DAT’s advocacy for Downtown puts good will ambassadors on the streets, provides maintenance, promotional programs and sponsors events, as well as fosters public and private cooperation for quality growth and investment in Downtown development.

DAT receives its budget from membership dues and from property and business owners in Downtown through the Business Improvement District.

A BID provides for an assessment on property for downtown improvements and services, including Clean & Safe Teams, marketing/public relations, business recruitment and retention, neighborhood relations, government relations and more. BID services enhance, and do not replace, basic City services. Funds raised by a BID are governed by property and business owners, ensuring accountability and control by those who pay. DAT also strives to enhance its budget through grant-writing and fundraising.

DAT’s Mission: To creatively plan, manage and develop Downtown Albuquerque to become the best mid-sized Downtown in the USA.
