History

Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc., incorporated in 1977, established New Brunswick's first Business Improvement Area (BIA) in 1981. The voting membership of DMCI includes all non-residential property owners and commercial tenants in non-residential properties.

 

A BIA is a geographically defined urban area containing primarily non-residential properties. The BIA concept allows businesses and property owners to work cooperatively to manage downtown as a resource and business destination. Promotional campaigns, beautification, government lobbying, cooperative advertising, clean and safe programs, and parking and transportation issues are some of the areas of concern that a BIA organization may deal with.

 

Moncton's BIA boundaries are as follows:

East of Vaughan Harvey; south of Park Street (Vaughan Harvey to High Street); south of Dufferin (High to Archibald); south of Austin (Robinson to Church) ; east of the railway line, north to Mountain Road, west of Botsford Street; north of St. George (adjacent non residential properties) to west of King Street; south of Harper Lane; west of Hall's Creek to the Petitcodiac River.
