By law, the Troy Business Improvement District has 20 Directors comprised of three classes of members:

Class A Directors - Owners or representatives of owners of real commercial property located within the Business Improvement District
Class B Directors - Commercial tenants or representatives of commercial tenants of the BID
Class C Directors - Appointed representatives of local stakeholders

Terms of Class A and B Directors are for three years and they may not serve more than two consecutive terms. For more information, please see ARTICLE II - BOARD OF DIRECTORS in the Troy BID's By Laws.

The BID Board of Directors is made up of property owners and business owners Downtown, along with several City officials, and representatives from the County, Rensselaer Polytechnic, Russell Sage, and the County Chamber of Commerce.
