The Town Center Improvement District (TCID) was formed in 1993 by the Texas, USA legislature as a government agency charged with promoting and maintaining economic development in The Woodlands Town Center area. In 2001, TCID created a special economic development zone to assist in the expansion of the Pavilion (see below).

Funding

The principal source of revenue for TCID is sales and use taxes paid by businesses and consumers within the 1,000-acre (2.5 km²) district. TCID also receives hotel occupancy tax revenue that it currently uses to retire debt on its new convention center. TCID has generated more than $60 million in local sales tax and $379 million in tax revenue for the State of Texas since 1993. TCID relies on partnerships to provide capital improvements, infrastructure, special events, marketing, and public safety for the people who live, work, and play at The Woodlands Town Center.
