DIB Adds Fifth Ambassador

The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) has approved the addition of a full-time Cleaning Ambassador to help tackle street cleaning within the 44-block DIB district in Pensacola’s urban core. The addition was approved by the DIB board of directors on Jan. 23rd, and gives the greenlight to local contractor Spotless Logistics to add a fifth Cleaning Ambassador to its downtown team.

The downtown cleaning program expansion is the second in less than a year. In the summer of 2023 the DIB doubled its investment in downtown cleaning, according to Walker Wilson, DIB executive director.

“An important part of the mission of the DIB is to maintain a clean and beautiful downtown,” said Wilson. “Spotless Logistics employs locally and the Cleaning Ambassadors work hard 7 days a week to provide litter removal and sidewalk cleaning to help our downtown businesses, and the district, thrive,” he added.
