WABA’S PURPOSE

The West Alameda Business Association (WABA) serves as a support network for the businesses located in Alameda's Webster Street Business District, Alameda Landing Shopping Center, Alameda Point, Ballena Bay, and other local businesses located in Alameda west of Grand Street.

WABA is a Business Improvement District (BID), a common model for the management of a municipality’s commercial corridors. It is authorized by state law and provides a mechanism for the businesses and property owners of a community to organize as a single entity to raise funds for activities that enhance or expand upon municipal services. By providing a clean, safe, and attractive district, WABA promotes the West End as a desirable location to live, work, visit, and explore.
