The Story

Council voted 9-0 to keep the downtown Business Improvement District rate at $1.77 per $1,000 of assessed value for 2026. The BID Board also set a May 2026 meeting to look at changing the district boundary map for the first time since 1996—something that can change who pays and who benefits.
