Announcing the
Ballston Business Improvement District
The Ballston Partnership just celebrated it's 25th Anniversary at the October Annual
Meeting. Now the Partnership has something else to celebrate this year.
On Saturday, the Arlington County Board unanimously approved the establishment of
the Ballston Business Improvement District (BID) effective January 1, 2011. The
BID is a public/private partnership in which property and business owners contribute
to the maintenance, development and promotion of a commercial district.
The BID will ensure that Ballston property owners have additional resources to keep
Ballston competitive, attractive and sustainable in an increasingly competitive
commercial real estate environment.
"The reality of a Ballston BID is a huge success that was only possible due to a
great Steering Committee, community input and a lot of hard work," said Kelly Shooshan,
Vice President of Development of The Shooshan Company. "As President of the Ballston
Partnership for the past three years, it has been a challenge to accomplish our
vision with limited funding but with Pamela Kahn's leadership of the Partnership
she has shown our Board and Community what can be accomplished with minimal staff
and budget so I am excited to see what she will be able to accomplish as the Ballston
BID."
The Ballston BID's primary focus will be to move the perception of Ballston from
a "good place" to a "great place", enhance and communicate Ballston's commercial
advantages in an increasingly competitive County/region, increase and protect private
and public investment in Ballston's commercial properties, create, manage and sustain
Ballston as the premier mixed-use urban environment in the County, and promote Ballston's
brand as an internationally recognized hub for science and technology.
Activities will include marketing, branding and promotion, community events, minor
physical enhancements such as banners and wayfinding and beautification and transportation
enhancements including bike racks, shelters and more.
The Ballston BID includes 119 commercial properties, approximately 8.3 million square
feet of development, and more than 118 acres.
