City of Racine Seeks Applicants for Business Improvement District (BID) Board Vacancies
The City of Racine is inviting interested community members to apply for open seats on the boards of its three Business Improvement Districts (BIDs): Downtown (BID #1), Uptown (BID #3), and Douglas Avenue (BID #4). These volunteer boards help guide district-level investments, oversee annual operating plans, and support the continued economic development of Racine’s commercial corridors.
BID board members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Common Council in accordance with Wisconsin Statute 66.1109.
Who Can Apply
The City encourages applications from City of Racine residents living within a BID district, and from those who own, occupy, or operate a business within any district. Individual BID operating plans also identify district-specific expectations for board composition.
