About Us

The Arden + Howe Business Alliance is defined as a Property-based Business Improvement District (PBID). California State Law defines PBIDs in the California Streets and Highways code 36600 as a property and business owner collaborative forming a partnership between the public and private sector, organized for the improvement of a specific commercial area. In this structure, the property owners determine the boundaries of the PBID and how much they are willing to spend to allow for the services they desire in the district.

​

A PBID provides services over and above those provided by the county. A PBID is governed by a private non-profit corporation made up of the property owners.  All funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district, which is responsible for managing the district and delivering district services. PBIDs have a defined life, which cannot exceed five years, pursuant to the PBID law. Property owner support is required for renewal and the formation process must be followed.

​

Through leadership, partnership, and advocacy we serve business and property owners in the unincorporated Arden-Arcade area of the County of Sacramento along both sides of Arden Way between Ethan Way and Watt Avenue, along Howe Avenue between Wyda Way and Hurley Way, and parcels south of Hurley Way, west of Howe Avenue.
