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:

    “In my cheapest moments I am apt to think that it is n’t my business to be “seeking the spirit,” but as much its business to be seeking me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
