Business Improvement Districts to Be Topic
The San Fernando Valley Economic Alliance is presenting a daylong conference on business improvement districts June 26.
Business improvement districts provide a means for merchants to provide for improved security, landscaping, marketing and storefront refurbishments. They are generally funded by either a property tax surcharge or assessments on local businesses.
Conference topics include how to manage a successful business improvement district, getting a district approved by government officials, and running a district like a business.
The conference, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Union on the Cal State Northridge campus, is open to Valley businesses and residents. The cost is $10 and includes continental breakfast, lunch and parking. For information, call Jim Stewart at (818) 947-0709.
