THE DJP DOWNTOWN AMBASSADORS CONTINUE TO ENSURE A MEMORABLE AND WELCOMING EXPERIENCE TO THOSE WHO FIND THEMSELVES WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. THEY START AT 7AM EACH MORNING PROVIDING DIRECT, ON-THE-STREET CONNECTION SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, PROACTIVELY ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT SERVICES INCLUDING SAFETY, HOSPITALITY, OUTREACH, CLEANING, AND BEAUTIFICATION.
WHEN THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC OF 2020 HIT DOWNTOWN JACKSON, OUR AMBASSADORS DID NOT HESITATE TO STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE. IN ADDITION TO NORMAL OPERATIONS, THE DOWNTOWN AMBASSADORS CONTINUED TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE CLEAN & SAFE PROGRAMS WITH AN INCREASE IN THE FREQUENCY OF CLEANING AND DISINFECTING OF PUBLIC SURFACES, INCLUDING TRAFFIC SIGNAL BUTTONS, BENCHES, HAND RAILS, AND DOOR KNOBS.
WHEN DEMONSTRATIONS TOOK PLACE IN OUR CAPITAL CITY, THE DOWNTOWN AMBASSADORS PROVIDED AN EXTRA LEVEL OF SECURITY, ALONG WITH OUR OFF-DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THROUGH EACH HURDLE OUR COMMUNITY FACED, THE DOWNTOWN AMBASSADORS STOOD STRONG AND UNWAVERING AT THE FOREFRONT.
