Abstract:
Students in the graduate level Public Budget Administration course within
the department of Planning, Public Policy, and Management at the University
of Oregon examined the viability of an Economic Improvement or Business
Improvement District (EID or BID) in Redmond, Oregon’s downtown. The City
of Redmond provided three elements it wanted included in any proposed EID or
BID, including a full time staff person, beautification efforts, and promotions and
marketing.
