If it is approved, the BID would see businesses decide on ways to improve the area and pay a levy to fund the investment.
David Owens, chair of the Wakefield City Centre Partnership’s BID Steering Group, said: “It will be important to ensure that all businesses benefit from the plan and consider it worth paying the levy so that they vote yes in the BID ballot early next year.
“If you have not yet met with a member of the BID team to discuss your future business needs, please contact them as soon as possible to arrange a meeting.”
