Huntington Beach Downtown BID
|
Check-
The
City
of
Huntington
Beach
announced
in
March
2005
that
Downtown
BID
has
received
its
first
check
which
has
been
processed
for
the
Downtown
Huntington
Beach
Business
Association
(DHBBA).
The
DHBBA
was
formed
to
oversee
the
operations
of
the
Downtown
Business
Improvement
District
(BID).
The
Downtown
BID
was
set
up
in
October
to
coordinate
marketing
and
beautification
efforts
in
the
downtown
business
region
of
Main
Street
and
its
surrounding
radius
near
Huntington
Beach
Pier
and
Huntington
City
Beach.
The
city
partners
with
the
BID
by
collecting
assessments
from
the
individual
businesses
and
then
forwarding
those
funds
to
the
DHBBA.
The
DHBBA
plans
to
produce
a
map
for
downtown
visitors
that
highlights
the
unique
dining
and
retail
offerings
of
the
area.
The
BID
funds
may
also
be
used
for
advertising,
to
improve
landscaping
and
fund
special
events.
The
public/private
partnership
was
created
to
promote
Downtown
Huntington
Beach
as a
destination
for
residents
and
visitors
alike.
