West Racine Business District

The West Racine Business Improvement District is located along Washington Avenue, within the bounds of Kinzie Ave. and Osborne Boulevard on the north side, Blaine on the west, West Boulevard on the east (including businesses immediately east of West Blvd.), and Thirteenth Street on the south.

West Racine is a traditional neighborhood, with single-family and two-family residences. There are 32 diverse commercial locations, primarily on the east end of Washington Avenue and West Boulevard. Churches, a fire station, a school, and small parks are also part of West Racine.

In 2006, the West Racine Business Improvement District was created with a first-year operating plan developed by Racine County Economic Development Corporation. The objective of the District is to preserve and improve economic conditions by facilitating and implementing development projects in West Racine. The City of Racine is committed to helping the District promote its development and intends to play a significant role in supporting development.
