Mitchell's Downtown Business Improvement District #3
Great News, Mitchell! 🎉
The BID #3 Tax has officially been renewed for another 7 years! 🙌
We’re thrilled to continue supporting this impactful program that helps downtown building owners restore and preserve our historic architecture. Thanks to BID #3, grants have made it possible to breathe new life into some of Mitchell’s most iconic buildings.
We’re proud of the progress made so far and look forward to seven more years of revitalization, growth, and community pride in our historic downtown.
📊 Attached below is helpful information from the Fall 2024 BID #3 Presentation, and we’re already planning the next update for Fall 2025!
Thank you for being part of this journey toward a stronger, more vibrant Mitchell!
Fall 2024 BID #3 Presentation - Things have evolved since this was presented. Stay tune for the next update in Fall 2025!
Mitchell Main Street & Beyond is leading an effort to make major improvements within the historic district. The group has re-vamped the old streetscape Business Improvement District (BID) plan in order to generate additional funds to be spent on buildings and infrastructure within the city’s core. These improvements are designed to turn around the deteriorating area and improve the entire city’s quality of life. The improvements will make Mitchell more competitive in attracting new residents to fill our many job vacancies. They will also make Mitchell better able to attract area shoppers and tourists.
The BID is projected to raise approximately $45,000 per year with a portion of the funds being used as a grant improvement program that is available to anyone within the BID area. This grant program allows owners to make exterior improvements to enhance the historic commercial district. The remaining BID funds will be used for "look and feel" features and improvements along Main Street.
Next Application Dates: July 1st - July 31st, 2025
