Serving Our Members

We represent over 750 businesses and property owners within the City Heights Business Improvement District that serve the residents of City Heights and the thousands of customers that come from other parts of San Diego to shop, dine, visit, and do business. We support our member businesses with information and resources such as loans and grants, technical assistance, webinars, and general guidance on a variety of business issues. Additionally, we highlight local City Heights businesses through social media, our News & Stories blog, newsletters, a business directory and other marketing activities such as special events and programs.

Serving Our Community

City Heights is a culturally and ethnically diverse San Diego community rich in history. At the City Heights Business Association, we believe in the power of our community: residents, business owners, and community organizations working together to support our neighborhoods and business district. Our organization is multifaceted. We engage in numerous activities and initiatives that support the overall goal of growing and improving our City Heights community. Such initiatives include a variety of collaborative efforts such as special events, community cleanups, crime prevention, holiday decorations, homeless outreach and support, and various landscaping and beautification projects to enhance the pedestrian experience.
