Old Pasadena Seeks Input for Strategic Plan via Online Survey Open until May 8

Old Pasadena Management District (OPMD), the non-profit  business organization that creatively plans, manages, and develops Old Pasadena, is  currently undergoing a comprehensive Strategic Plan. An online survey is currently live, and we are seeking your opinion on how to make Old Pasadena the best it can be! 

In January 2024, OPMD initiated work on a new Strategic Plan to be incorporated into  the continuation campaign for 2025. The Strategic Plan is being produced in  conjunction with the consultants at Progressive Urban Management Associates  (PUMA). The results of this survey will inform the Strategic Plan process, which seeks  to identify priorities and actions to guide improvements in Old Pasadena over the next  five to ten years.

The BID enhances the basic City services by  funding district-wide security, marketing, and maintenance programs to provide a clean,  safe, vibrant downtown experience. All operations are financed through annual tax  assessments on privately owned commercial property. The Old Pasadena BID was  formed in 2000 and recently approved for a ten-year term to be renewed in 2025.
