Created by the non-profit Austin Independent Business Alliance in 2004, and administered through it’s sister foundation the Local Economies Council, the nationally-recognized, award-winning IBIZ Districts Program supports and promotes neighborhood business districts throughout Austin – in areas where 75% or more of the businesses are locally-owned.

Whether you’re looking for local art, vintage finds, watering holes, familiar faces, or exploring new treasures – IBIZ Districts are the place to be!

This program has been so successful that in 2011 the City of Austin received an International Economic Development Council (IEDC) award in Neighborhood Economic Development for our IBIZ Districts.
