BIA TopWho We Are

The Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area (CIDBIA) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization funded by the business and property owners of the Chinatown-International District. Established in 1994, its mission is to improve the quality of life of the district to its businesses, residents, patrons, and visitors.  Financed by a self-imposing tax on space by business and property owners, the CIDBIA supplements state and city programs geared toward neighborhood improvement. Specifically, the CIDBIA is charged to implement the following programs:

  • Maintenance, beautification, and enhancement of the public areas.

  • Support and enhancement of the public safety.

  • Promote and market business and tourism.

  • Develop and assist transportation and parking for shoppers and visitors.

  • Encourage and support all business development and economic vitalization efforts.

But most important of all, the CIDBIA is a diverse organization of people that seeks to preserve and enhance the jewels of the deep heritage found in the area, while bringing growth and prosperity to all those involved.
