Description
How does a BIA operate? A BIA is a membership-based non-profit organization formed in a commercial area to promote the area as a whole. A BIA is created through a municipal by-law, and is funded by levies collected from all commercial properties within its boundaries. The ByWard Market BIA was formed in 1993, and is administered by an elected 12-member Board of Management and two full-time employees an executive director and a communication and special events coordinator. Who are the members? Each commercial property within the boundaries of the BIA pays a levy toward the BIA which is collected along with property taxes by the municipality both tenants and property owners are members of the BIA! The ByWard Market BIA represents over 400 businesses and 200 properties, all located within an area of roughly four square blocks.
