The document discusses a proposed Business Improvement District (BID) for Cathedral Yard, Cathedral Close, and Exeter. A BID allows local businesses to invest collectively in improvements to their trading environment. The BID could provide better marketing, more events in Cathedral Green, capitalizing on the area as a tourist attraction, crime reduction measures, and business support. It outlines what a BID may deliver, benefits to property owners, common questions about BIDs and their costs, the next steps in developing a business plan, and contact information for John Harvey.
