From spotlighting members through newsletters, local media, and social media, to ensuring the voice of downtown businesses is heard in municipal planning discussions, the BIA is dedicated to helping the downtown thrive. An attractive, active downtown benefits everyone inviting people to
visit, shop, explore, and return. As the community grows, the BIA sees an opportunity to extend these benefits to more businesses in and around the core. By expanding the footprint, the BIA can continue to strengthen the economic vitality of the area while maintaining the unique character that people love about Downtown Kemptville.
