Montclair Village Association

The Montclair Village Association (MVA) is a Business Improvement District (B.I.D.) made up of retail and services businesses located in Montclair Village. The MVA was previously known as the Montclair Business Association for over 50 years until 2001 when the businesses located in Montclair voted to pay an additional assessment tax each year based on their gross revenue. The assessments are used to pay for revitalization efforts in the neighborhood commercial district. The MVA elects a Board of Directors annually from its membership.

Five Goals of The Montclair Village Association are:

1. To bring about the revitalization of Montclair Village and it’s surrounds.
2. To bring investment of public and private capital to Montclair Village for public benefit and charitable purposes.
3. To increase quality public improvements and educational, cultural, artistic, charitable services in Montclair for public and charitable purposes.
4. To increase economic well-being of residents, employees and businesses in Montclair Village.
5. To promote business in Montclair Village

The Board of Directors works hard to meet these goals by working together in committees to focus on issues such as beautification, organization, and promotion. The MVA pays for security, maintenance, landscaping and the administration of promotional events such as The 5th Annual Jazz and Wine Festival in an effort to improve and revitalize the Village and its surroundings. Some of the organizations recent successes have been the Montclair Village Clock and the Montclair Village Farmer’s Market that runs year round on Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm on La Salle Ave.
