Business District

Our Ruston-Point Defiance Business District is inviting new members. This is the only local business district to cross municipal boundaries and offers unique opportunity to work for the broader good of the whole area. The district covers the entire peninsula north of N. 46th.

Business member dues is $50 per year, community members only pay $15. The district is looking into things like signage, group advertising and litter clean-up, to name a few. The group has sponsored a successful music festival on Labor Day the last three years, but may transfer that energy into a smaller scale farmers market or several mini-festivals throughout the year. Community help is especially needed for this effort ~ its something we all enjoy, so please lend a hand.

Everyone is welcome ~ at-home businesses, community members, shop owners... Tacoma is very committed to their business districts and a group voice has greater influence on our elected leaders. Contact district President James Bennett (Primary Source Books, 5104 N. Pearl) at americanmemory@msn.com or (253) 686-7632.
