A firm leading the creation of assessment districts across San Diego County is now getting closer to establishing one in National City.
These types of districts are voted in by property owners of a geographically defined area where they agree to tax themselves to fund maintenance and upgrades beyond what a city provides.
National City officials last month agreed to move forward with the firm New City America Inc. on creating a district in the city’s downtown area.
Marco Li Mandri, head of the firm, will return to councilmembers with a plan at a later date. He suggested that the city create a parking district, as well, which would allow the city to install meters.
