In the summer of 2019, the St. Louis Board of Alderman passed Board Bill 83 to establish the CID. That bill was a direct result of a petition signed by the majority of property owners in the district, followed by a mail-in election in which 78% of people who voted approved the CID. The CID is a political subdivision of the state of Missouri with a maximum duration of 25 years. A 1% sales and use tax on retail sales within the district boundaries funds the improvement and maintenance projects overseen by the CID.
The CID was geographically expanded in 2025.
