What is the difference between a Business Improvement District and a Business Merchant Association?

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are public/private partnerships in which multiple property owners pay a special assessment for the common maintenance, development and promotion of their commercial district. A Business Merchant Association is a corporation that provides stewardship and promotion for a designated area through programs and events. Membership is voluntary and open to a variety of stakeholders.
