"The Carleton Place BIA and Downtown Merchants
working together to make our community
a better place to live, work and play."
What a BIA does...
The principal function of the Carleton Place Business Improvement Area (BIA) is to improve business in an area defined by a geographic location. In addition to beautification projects throughout the area, the BIA taxes are spent on specific marketing, advertising and promotional campaigns to promote the area.
