Blossburg Improvement Association was formed in 1971 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the goal of building the Riverside Plaza. After completing this project, BIA has focused on enabling continued access to important local services such as a grocery store and post office.
The funds raised by BIA through rental income go back into maintenance of the portion of store fronts in the plaza still owned by BIA, maintenance of the plaza, new capital projects for the plaza such as the recent facade overhaul and contributing funding to other important projects and organizations in Blossburg.
Blossburg Improvement Association’s mission is to increase the amount of commercial space in Blossburg, PA, enable retention of identified services, and enable the improvement of commercial offerings while providing a funding stream for downtown projects and community improvements.
