ABOUT BIA

The BIA was established in 1965 by a group of neighborhood residents concerned with protecting and preserving the unique historic character of Belhaven, the neighborhood bounded by State Street on the west, I-55 on the east, Riverside Drive on the north, and Fortification Street on the south. 

BIA’s objectives remain much the same almost 40 years later, with more than 250 members led by a 15-person volunteer board of directors working hard to protect, preserve and improve our neighborhood. 

Also, please consider joining BIA if you’re not already a member. An annual membership is just $30, and your dues support a variety of BIA projects, some of which are described below. To join, contact the BIA Treasurer Ron Aldridge at aldridgeron@earthlink.net

Thanks for your interest in BIA – we look forward to hearing from you!
