About BUP The mission of Bethesda Urban Partnership is to foster an environment in which downtown Bethesda can thrive and prosper. Bethesda Urban Partnership, Inc Downtown Bethesda, a thriving destination home to numerous restaurants, retailers, arts organizations and community events, is managed by the Bethesda Urban Partnership, Inc (BUP), a non-profit organization established by Montgomery County in 1994. Bethesda Urban Partnership handles landscaping and maintenance as well as promotion of the downtown through innovative marketing campaigns and large-scale events. In its 17-year operation, BUP created Bethesda Transportation Solutions in 2000, established the Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District in 2002 and has grown from employing two full-time staff to housing more than 35 employees working in maintenance, marketing, transportation, customer service and administration. BUP is evaluated every five years by Montgomery County and has been reauthorized twice by the County's Office of Legislative Oversight to continue its mission of maintaining and marketing downtown Bethesda. Tree-lined streets, attractive streetscape and beautiful flowers are a signature of Bethesda's vibrant community. Bethesda's walkable downtown is managed by a dedicated maintenance team who is hard at work six days a week keeping Bethesda a clean and attractive place to live, work and visit. Beginning at 7am Monday through Saturday, BUP's landscaping and urban beautification squads are out sweeping the streets, removing litter three times daily, planting 32, 000 flowers in three annual rotations, trimming 1, 200 trees, maintaining 188, 000 square feet of turf and powerwashing Bethesda's signature brick sidewalks.
