Business Improvement District
This month on the podcast, Renee sat down with Andrew Gough from Reverie Roasters and Jordan Walker from Greteman Group to have a conversation about the Business Improvement District for the DDD. Specifically, the trio raises questions that they’ve been hearing from businesses, and tried to dispel confusion, misinformation, and flat-out rumors that has been going around. This podcast will be especially helpful to street front business and property owners in the DDD, but is packed with information for anyone who is interested in what the BID is about. Listen in!
