The Columbia City Business Association: Working to create a better Columbia City!

 NEW! We now support online membership applications!

The Columbia City Business Association (CCBA) is a vibrant organization of business owners, property owners, and residents dedicated to making Columbia City a "great place". Our vision for the Columbia City business district is two-fold. First, we are working to make the business district a pleasant and convenient one-stop shopping location for residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. To this end, we recruit businesses that round out the district's current offerings and that complement the businesses that are already here. The second part of our vision is for Columbia City to be a region-wide destination for dining and entertainment. To further this goal we promote our neighborhood and try to make it as hospitable to visitors as possible. The CCBA membership meets the first Tuesday of every month at 9:00 AM at The Royal Esquire Club. On an annual cycle, we establish priorities, develop a work plan, and adopt a budget. Our projects are funded by member dues and occasional grants, and they are assigned to one of four committees for oversight:

Membership Committee: welcomes new businesses, works to expand our membership, and actively seeks a membership profile that reflects the racial, ethnic and cultural diversity that characterizes our neighborhood. We now support online membership applications!

Marketing Committee: manages BeatWalk, organizes special events, and conducts joint promotions.

Business Development Committee: recruits new businesses to the district, maintains and improves the district's infrastructure and streetscape, and addresses development issues like traffic, parking and alley use.

Executive Committee: oversees the work plan and budget, collects dues, and manages internal and external communications, including this website and our "Get the Beat" e-newsletter.
