The Geneva Business Improvement District was formed to promote an attractive and economically viable downtown (18.5 acre designated area) that is high quality in appearance and design, safe and attractive to property owners, business people, tenants, shoppers, and visitors. Our organization addresses programs that focus on: architectural design and preservation; economic planning and development; and business recruitment, retention, marketing, promotion and unification. Geneva BID is partially funded by the City of Geneva.

The BID was formed in 1986 to preserve, revitalize, and market the downtown business district. It is now one of the oldest and most effective downtown organizations in the State of New York.
