Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) play a crucial role in supporting the vibrancy, economic vitality and appeal of many of the City’s key commercial areas.
Enhancing Local Economic Development
A BIA is a specific geographic area of the city in which businesses pool resources and work together, through a formal association, to enhance the economic development of their area.
The City and BIAs share a commitment to build a vibrant economy—many areas within the City support BIAs in advancing economic development and meeting their operating requirements.
