BIZ - Heythuysen

What is a BIZ?

The Business Investment Zone Act (BIZ) allows entrepreneurs in a certain area, such as a business park or shopping area, to jointly invest in the quality of their surroundings.  

BIZ shopping area Heythuysen 2023-2027

On November 1, the Leudal City Council approved the Regulation BedrijvenInvesteringsZone shopping area Heythuysen 2023-2027 and the levy (= the BIZ contribution) was established. The levy is imposed and collected in the form of a tax. The proceeds are paid in full to the Stichting BIZ Centrummanagement Leudal which carries out the activities on behalf of the entrepreneurs. 

Support measurement

The ordinance adopted on November 1 will take effect as soon as the final support measurement (vote) shows that a sufficient number of taxpaying entrepreneurs agree to the introduction of the BIZ. There is sufficient support if the minimum response rate is 50%. At least two-thirds of the votes cast must support the proposal and these in favor must represent more than 50% of the WOZ value of all voters.
The vote is secret and the implementation is done by ambassadors. These ambassadors have made a declaration regarding implementation (including secrecy). There is an independent supervisor of compliance with the procedure and counting of votes.
