Business Revitalization Zones

See also: Business improvement district

A business revitalization zone (BRZ) is an area where an association, representing the business community within the area, works toward achieving common goal for the area, such as enhancing the area through various improvements, initiatives, programs, promotions and festivals to attract customers. The authority for Edmonton to establish a BRZ is enabled by section 50 of the Municipal Government Act. Some of Edmonton's BRZs share their name with neighbourhoods, but their boundaries do not coincide with those of the neighbourhoods. Edmonton presently has 12 BRZs.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or zones:

    What makes this Generation of Vermin so very Prolifick, is the indefatigable Diligence with which they apply themselves to their Business. A Man does not undergo more watchings and fatigues in a Campaign, than in the Course of a vicious Amour. As it is said of some Men, that they make their Business their Pleasure, these Sons of Darkness may be said to make their Pleasure their Business. They might conquer their corrupt Inclinations with half the Pains they are at in gratifying them.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
