The Exeter Business Improvement Area is making changes while also rolling out a new program to support local businesses.
Business Manager Caroline Hill says the BIA office at 303 Main Street officially closed on March 31st.
Hill says the BIA is now looking for a new space on Main Street that better fits its budget and long-term goals.
In the meantime, the team will continue meeting with businesses throughout the community.
At the same time, the BIA is launching a new “Exeter BIA Bucks” program to help support local shops and restaurants.
To help offset that impact, BIA Bucks can be used at more than 20 participating businesses in Exeter.
As a special promotion, anyone who buys $100 worth will receive an extra $10 to spend, running until the end of April.
Hill says the program is a simple way for residents to support local businesses, especially during construction.
She adds that the BIA Bucks are also a great gift idea, with Mother’s Day coming up, and can be used at a wide range of local spots including shops, restaurants and services.
The program is expected to continue beyond April, with more promotions and contests planned throughout the year.
Businesses interested in joining the program can contact the Exeter BIA directly for more information.
