The Leamington Business Improvement Area (BIA) represents over 200 businesses in the Uptown area. A BIA is an association of commercial property owners and tenants within a defined area who work in partnership with the Municipality to create thriving, competitive, and safe business areas that attract shoppers, diners, tourists, and new businesses. By working collectively as a BIA, local businesses have the organizational and funding capacity to be catalysts for civic improvement, enhancing the quality of life in their local neighbourhood and the Town as a whole. This association is financed by a special levy on businesses in this area, above and beyond the normal municipal taxes. The levy is collected by the municipality but administered by the BIA Board of Directors, as it implements its program of activities for that year. The overall administration of the BIA and the allocation of funds are directed by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors are elected by our members at our annual membership meeting in January. The Board meets once a month for a general meeting, which is held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 8:00am. You are more than welcome to attend the meeting and share your ideas, concerns and dreams for our community.
