What is a BIA? |
BIA stands for Business Improvement Area. It is a defined area within which businesses are required to pay an additional tax (or levy) to the BIA, in order to fund projects within the areas boundaries. These projects often include events, cleaning streets, making improvements, marketing, and lobbying on behalf of the businesses.
