Elgin BID renewal ballot unsuccessful
The Elgin Business Improvement District (BID) renewal ballot has not secured enough support, meaning the BID will not continue beyond its current term.
The ballot sought to secure a further five-year term for Elgin BID, however despite the efforts of Elgin BID’s management and Board of Directors, the renewal ballot did not achieve the required level of backing from the business community.
Since its establishment in 2010, the BID has supported businesses in the city centre and driven initiatives to enhance the local shopping and leisure environment. Key activities have included town centre events, collaborative business support, and regeneration efforts aimed at improving the economic vitality of Elgin.
With this outcome, Elgin BID board of directors will now decide the next steps as its current term concludes.
