Denver BID Council

03/21/2026

The Denver BID Council has some new stats, and the numbers are up! Our BIDs and GIDs continue to have a bigger impact in sales tax. We are excited for 2026 as we embark on a journey of collaboration in building a business friendly Denver where our BIDs/GIDs have clear pathways to collaboration and city partners.
