Analysis The Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District was created pursuant to the "Business Improvement District Act" part 12 of article 25 of title 31, Colorado Revised Statutes. Sponsored by a coalition of property owners and business owners and Downtown Boulder, Inc., in cooperation with the City of Boulder, the Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District (BID) was created to provide enhanced or otherwise unavailable services, facilities and improvements to commercial properties located in downtown Boulder. Operational since January 2000, the BID provides services above and beyond those provided by the city, including, but not limited to, marketing,
communications, events, maintenance, business assistance and downtown ambassadors.
The Downtown Boulder Business Improvement District has a direct impact on the economy of Boulder.
