About Ground Level Group (GLG)
The GLG is an affinity group for BDA members with a first-degree relationship with the built environment in which their businesses rely on vibrant street activity and customer foot traffic in the public realm. It's a space structured for smaller businesses that have limited resources, time and head space. This group will focus on placemaking and help advise the BDA Board of Directors on issues that impact public space vitality.
