BIA stands for Business Improvement Area, which is an association of local business and property owners working together to improve, promote and undertake projects that will result in a stronger and more appealing commercial area.
We are a board of local leaders who strive to see the Downtown as a beautiful destination for locals and tourists alike.
We focus on beautification and increasing patronage of the downtown through organizing, financing and executing on local projects and events.
Funds are raised through a mandatory levy on the downtown businesses that the city return to the DBIA to fund downtown projects!
Any business that is located in the geographical area of the DBIA is automatically a member of the DBIA!
As a member, you are entitled to vote at member meetings and participate in shaping how the downtown can look and feel.
If you have any questions about how your membership works or how you can get involved, please send us a message!
The DBIA board participates in a range of activities. From marketing our beautiful downtown core to highlighting special events and new business ventures.
The DBIA Board of Directors meet to discuss how to execute projects or discuss challenging matters for the members of the downtown district. Here is the 2025 Schedule for summer and fall:
