Our Issues

SBA's advocacy is a live campaign — not the minutes of a meeting. Here is where we stand.

01

Public Safety

A safe downtown is the foundation every Spokane business is built on — for employees, customers, and the neighborhoods around them.

Where we stand

TODO — approved position pending. The paragraphs below are placeholder framing so the page renders. Replace with the Spokane Business Association's official public-safety position as adopted by the board.

Spokane's businesses depend on a downtown where employees feel safe coming to work and customers feel welcome to visit. SBA advocates for the resources, staffing, and coordination that keep the core of the city secure.

02

Homelessness

Spokane needs real, accountable solutions to homelessness — compassionate for people in crisis and workable for the businesses that share the sidewalk.

Where we stand

TODO — approved position pending. Placeholder framing so the page renders. Replace with SBA's official position on homelessness as adopted by the board.

SBA supports approaches to homelessness that pair genuine help for people in crisis with clear expectations and measurable outcomes — the kind of results a downtown business district can actually feel.

03

Downtown Vitality

A vibrant, growing downtown lifts every business in Spokane — and it takes deliberate investment to keep it that way.

Where we stand

TODO — approved position pending. Placeholder framing so the page renders. Replace with SBA's official position on downtown vitality as adopted by the board.

From the STA Plaza to the Sprague corridor, SBA has worked to keep Spokane's commercial core competitive, walkable, and open for business. We advocate for the investments and policies that help downtown thrive.
