The Ketchum Business Advisory Coalition (KBAC) was started by a group of local businesses and citizens in April 2024 in response to the City of Ketchum’s 2024/25 Main Street reconstruction project, and the recognition that businesses need a seat at the table for projects, policies, and actions that directly impact local businesses and the local economy.

Our goal is to create a positive partnership between local Ketchum businesses and the City of Ketchum, to advise the City on business support needs, and advise the City on how their policies and directives directly impact local businesses.

KBAC has a long list of priority projects, but our first project is a downtown parking management plan, specifically as it relates to the proposed development of the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency (KURA) owned Washington Street lot, located at the corner of 1st and Washington in downtown Ketchum. Information about the project can be found here.

KBAC has open meetings (all those interested are welcome) the second Thursday of each month at 10:00am at The Sawtooth Club.
