Public Development Authorities

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are adopted by City Ordinance and guided by the Spokane Municipal Code. These districts generally include the assessment of dues or fees paid by property owners to the BID fund, which are then used for the provision of certain programs that foster greater success for local businesses and services as well as (sometimes) the planning, construction, and maintenance of certain public improvements and infrastructure.

商业改善区（Business Improvement Districts，BIDs）经城市条例确立，并受斯波坎市市政法典规范。此类区域通常会征收物业业主向商业改善区基金缴纳的会费或费用，所得资金将用于开展各类项目以助力本地商户与服务业发展壮大，部分情况下还会用于部分公共改善项目及基础设施的规划、建设与维护。
