Who we are
Our history
Formed in 2012 by local business owners and leaders to increase commercial activity, retain the manufacturing base and build a more vital business center.
The Granville Business Improvement District was created to increase commercial activity, retain the manufacturing base and create a more vital and active business center — from 60th Street to the east, 95th Street to the west, County Line Road to the north and Good Hope Road to the south — by providing services, creating community events and initiating improvements that make the neighborhood cleaner, safer and more prosperous.
Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities in the community, local business owners and leaders came together to form the BID as a catalyst for economic growth and community connection in 2012.
Over the years the BID has launched initiatives that support local businesses, attract new investments, train incumbent workers and bring people together through vibrant events and programs. From our early days focusing on small-scale improvements to our current role as a leader in the upcoming Granville Station development, the BID remains committed to shaping a brighter future for everyone in the community.
