Linger went on to note that “downtown Geneva is being justifiably recognized by surrounding communities as a success story. We need a BID director that shares the enthusiasm of downtown property owners and merchants and the drive to take us to the next level”.

Therefore, the BID Board has expressed a willingness to consider applicants with varied experiences and backgrounds.
The BID office can provide any interested candidates with a job description upon request.
