  • Welcome to the Spruce Grove City Centre Business Association!

    The Spruce Grove City Centre Business Association, working with the City of Spruce Grove, is excited to engage the community, City Centre businesses and property owners to reinvigorate, redefine and reactivate Spruce Grove’s City Centre as the beating heart of the community; a place where residents and visitors can gather for family friendly events and activities while rediscovering the virtues of shopping local.

     

  • WHAT IS A BIA

    Though set up and governed by a combination of provincial legislations and City policy, a BIA is initiated at the request of a business community. When a BIA is created, City Council establishes a business association, sets the BIA boundary, and approves a Board of Directors and annual budget. The budgeted amount is collected through a special tax levy of BIA members. Once established, City Council annually approves the BIA’s budget, Board of Directors, and special tax levy. All BIA collected monies  are returned to the Business Association to fund the BIA’s initiatives.

    PURPOSE

    A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a unique opportunity for businesses to work together to accomplish mutual goals. Customers want safe, interesting and attractive places to shop, dine and conduct business. To attract these customers, a BIA can enhance an area through:

    Streetscape Improvements 

    Various Events Held Within The City Centre
