About Main Street BIZ

Mission

The Main Street Area Business Improvement Zone Initiative (MSABIZ) mission is to create a Business Improvement Zone that will improve Main Street’s cleanliness, safety, and beauty thereby maximizing its attraction for business investment, providing a unique consumer experience for downtown shoppers and residents, and keeping it a viable tourist destination.

The MSABIZ is a non profit organization operating on behalf of commercial property owners who agree to tax themselves in order to provide high quality public space improvements that complement, not replace, City of Ann Arbor services, to make the district cleaner, safer and more vibrant.
