The Downtown BIZ supports and sustains businesses by responding quickly to their concerns, providing information and training, and acknowledging outstanding businesses.

We have a variety of services to help you address challenges. Are you facing safety issues or panhandling challenges? Are you tired of graffiti on your building or litter on your street? Are you dealing with intoxicated people that frequent your property or business? If so, call us at 958-4640! 

From the Downtown Trends market research report to free workshops, the BIZ also offers plenty of helpful resources for downtown business members.
