Goderich Business Improvement Area
Our
Downtown Square is a most unique and historic outdoor shopping and
service area, featuring quaint specialty shops,
restaurants and a large number of government and professional offices.
In 1977, the businesses of downtown Goderich believed that to maintain
a healthy downtown the efforts of the community had to be pooled
and the Goderich Business Improvement Area was formed.
Over
the last 27 years, the Goderich BIA has worked diligently to promote
and beautify our unique Courthouse Square and the streets which
radiate from it to form downtown Goderich.
The
Goderich BIA benefits not only the business community, but the surrounding
neighbourhood and the town as well. It serves as a social and economic
anchor for the town and helps to stabilize and add vitality to the
local community.
The
Board of Management of the Goderich BIA is made up from the diverse
membership of this business community, along with several members
of the Goderich town council.
We
encourage the members of the downtown business community to attend
our monthly board meeting held on the third Thursday of every month
at 11:30 am at the council chambers of Goderich Town Hall.
Downtown

gatherings.
