# Alliance for Downtown New York, Inc Careers >
The Alliance for Downtown New York (Downtown Alliance) manages the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Business Improvement District, serving an area roughly from City Hall to The Battery, from the East River to West Street. For over twenty years, the Downtown Alliance has worked to transform Lower Manhattan into a vibrant and dynamic district. When we opened our doors in 1995, Lower Manhattan had a commercial vacancy rate north of 20%, a residential population of 14,000, only a few great places to shop and eat, and just a handful of hotels. Today, the area is teeming with 300,000 workers, more than 60,000 residents, over 1,000 restaurants and shops, and millions of visitors excited to experience our renaissance.
Our board is comprised of the largest commercial property owners and tenants in the area, local elected officials, and local residents. In addition to the traditional BID services of supplemental sanitation, security and marketing; the Downtown Alliance publishes top notch research reports, promotes small businesses, is a major supporter of tourism,and spearheads local planning efforts with a vision for the future. In 2018, we celebrated our third-year of successfully operating LMHQ, our one-of-a-kind collaboration and event space, and economic development initiative.
