What is the PBIA?

In an effort to improve the downtown, the City of Olympia assesses a special annual fee for businesses located in downtown (non-profits and residents are exempt). These funds are to be spent exclusively for improving the downtown in the areas of:

  1. Downtown Parking Improvements - to address the concern for downtown Olympia businesses and propery owners, as well as patrons and employees.
  2. Clean and Safe Program - making downtown cleaner, more welcoming and improve the public's perception of safety.
  3. Civic Beautification and Sign Program - an overall beautification program.
  4. Business Recruitment and Retention Program
  5. Commercial Marketing Program
