Mural Projects
The Mural Projects are a series of artistic public wall paintings on selected buildings in the downtown area.
If you are a building owner interested in putting a mural on a wall of your building, consider applying for a Mural Program Grant, where the DMRBIA may fund up to 50% of the cost of the mural up to $3,000. The Mural Program is always accepting applications.
Clean Team
The Clean Team, a co-operative partnership with Coast Mental Health, a “social enterprise” type of program.
Clean Team members can be spotted throughout our BIA area, picking up trash and keeping our streets and alleyways tidy
Sparkle Week
Let's all SWEEP - POLISH - SHINE our way to a fresher, brighter, cleaner downtown.
This week runs at the beginning of the summer, when the weather turns magnificent. Downtown businesses create the sparkle that helps draw in customers and visitors. A clean community goes a long way to improving the business climate.
Each year, the BIA invites all business and property owners to participate in this clean-up campaign and are asking you to sweep your sidewalks, wash your doors, clean your signs, pull those weeds, cover any graffiti, clean your windows inside and out, and create a new window display.
The BIA coordinates with a number of local businesses, who offer discounts to BIA members for window washing, power washing, landscaping, graffiti removal, and painting.
