Community Economic Development Committee
TL;DR
The Seattle City Council's Community Economic Development Committee discussed a new Business Improvement Area (BIA) for 15th Avenue East that would levy special assessments on commercial, multi-family residential, and mixed-use property owners in that area. The ordinance would create a BIA Advisory Board and hire a Program Manager to oversee the district. The discussion was part of a remote meeting due to COVID-19 restrictions.
