Ancaster BIA While a BIA arises from the retail and professional activities of a main street, it has a profound effect on the surrounding area.

A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is an association of business people within a specified district who join together, with official approval of the City, in a self-help program aimed at stimulating local business. It serves as an economic and social anchor, helping to stabilize and revitalize the local community. A BIA does more than just clean up the neighbourhood. The BIA is a mechanism to promote the local community and its special attributes and attractions to visitors and, just as importantly, to local residents.
