About Our Municipal Service District

MSD MapWDI manages the 70-block Municipal Service District (MSD) on behalf of the City of Wilmington, providing services intended to improve Downtown Wilmington’s vitality.

The centerpiece is the MSD Ambassadors Program. WDI contracts with Block by Block, a nationally recognized leader in hospitality, safety, and facility maintenance, for operations within the Central Business District (also known as our MSD).

MSD Ambassadors are Downtown’s custodians, making our streets cleaner, safer, and more hospitable for all.

Our Ambassadors are also a phenomenal source of knowledge about everything Downtown. Ask for suggestions and tips while you explore our beautiful city! You can spot them in our MSD green.
