Meet your BID
Individual businesses. One stronger town.
Dundalk Business Improvement District brings local businesses together around a shared ambition for the place we call home.
Local roots. Forward thinking.
Our town.
Our shared future.
Dundalk adopted its first Business Improvement District scheme in 2009. The published 2024–2028 continuation proposal builds on that work, with a focus on the town's commercial life, culture and public spaces.
The BID is a way for businesses within a defined geographical area to contribute to shared projects and services. The proposal sets out the organisation's governance, planned priorities and funding approach.
For current membership, contribution or project information, speak directly with the BID team.
