The RiNo Business Improvement District (BID) was established in 2015 to champion local artists, creatives and businesses to support a vibrant, engaged and inclusive RiNo Art District.
Commercial property owners within the BID boundaries fund the RiNo BID through property taxes based on assessed property value to leverage resources for the benefit of the entire district and its community. These property taxes are used to generate funding for services the BID provides that have been developed and prioritized by property and business owners of the RiNo Art District.
Since 2015, the RiNo BID has funded projects, programs, and initiatives to support and implement the BID’s services. The BID’s four key areas of service were established to foster a thriving community, support local businesses, artists and entrepreneurs, and enhance the district’s unique urban character:
- Advocacy
- Branding, Marketing & Activation
- Placemaking
- Business Support for RiNo Creatives and Entrepreneurs
