The Ballston Business Improvement District is a public–private partnership dedicated to making Ballston a vibrant, innovative, and connected urban center in the heart of Arlington. Funded by a special tax from commercial property owners within our boundaries, we invest in initiatives that enhance the neighborhood’s economic vitality, public spaces, and overall experience for those who work, live, and visit here.
We focus on placemaking, community engagement, and strategic partnerships that highlight Ballston’s unique character. From activating public spaces with events and markets to supporting local businesses and fostering a thriving environment for innovation, our work strengthens Ballston’s position as a top destination for professionals, entrepreneurs, and visitors alike.
