The Business Improvement District of Twin Falls was the first one formed under Idaho State code #50-2061-2611, for the purpose of (1) physical improvement (2) promotion of public events (3) general promotion and improvement of trade activities with the District. Twin Falls City Council, created the Business Improvement District on November 1, 1982, and includes an area of twenty-four blocks and over 225 business. The District is governed by the City Council and is run by an elected Board of Directors and a paid Director. Each business, within the District's boundaries, is automatically by law, a member of the District. On September 12, 1996, the Business Improvement District (B.I.D.) filed with the County Courthouse a Certificate to do business as Downtown Twin Falls.
The board of Directors meets the 4th Thursday of each month at 8:30am in the City Council Chambers at 305 3rd Ave E, Twin Falls, ID 83301.
Please note that some meetings may be rescheduled due to holiday conflicts, so be sure to check the official schedule.
