I worked closely with representatives of the Main Street business community and colleagues on a resolution to advance the work they have done to create a Main Street Business Improvement Zone, or “BIZ.”  In a BIZ, property and business owners tax themselves to support the provision of special services.  We are likely to see new planters, cleaner sidewalks, gold-standard snow removal and whatever other amenities the BIZ Board believes will help keep Main Street vital and attractive.
