Established by Town of Prescott by-law, the Downtown Prescott BIA supports and invests in the identified BIA Levy Area (The RiverWalk District) to help revitalize and energize our historic Downtown core.

The Downtown Prescott BIA supports downtown beautification and place-based tourism and economic development by identifying needs within the BIA Levy Area and allocating Levy resources to address the issues.

The BIA also organizes and supports downtown events, business promotions, and destination marketing efforts for the RiverWalk District.

You join the Downtown Prescott BIA by being the owner or occupant of a commercial property that rests within the BIA Levy Area. 

Businesses/Commercial Properties located within the BIA boundaries automatically become members and pay the BIA levy along with their property taxes. Commercial property owners are responsible for collecting BIA levy fees from their commercial tenants and remitting them to the Town.

The BIA Levy helps fund beautification and business-support efforts within the BIA Area.

Every four years, elections are held for the BIA Board of Management, which is selected from eligible BIA Members. Nine Board Members are elected, who then meet at least monthly to discuss BIA business. 

The Town of Prescott offers a number of resources for businesses. Please visit the Business Resources page on the Invest Prescott site for more information.
