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.
