Welcome Unincorporated San Luis Obispo County Business Improvement District Constituents
The SLO County Tourism Business Improvement District (CBID) created this section of the website to provide information to our constituents on the activities of the CBID Advisory Board and our Local Fund Area boards.
The Highway 1 Tourism Alliance administers the programs and activities.
For more information regarding each board or to receive a current list of vacant opportunities to serve, please contact the Clerk of the Board at (805) 781-5011 or email su.ac.ols.oc@krelc_draob_da. Current vacancies to a County board, commission or committee are also posted outside the San Luis Obispo County Government Center and at the City of San Luis Obispo County Library.
We welcome your feedback and questions. Please call our Administrator, Cheryl Cuming at 805-547-CBID (2243), or email her at info@highway1roadtrip.com.
Our goal is to provide consistent, open and clear communications to our constituents, our partners and the public.
