History
The idea to form an organization to improve the business climate of Bedford Township was conceived by a small group of business owners in 1982. Meetings were held, a primary mission was put in writing, and officers were selected.
Over the coming years, membership grew, and various committees were established to assist the officers. Continuing membership growth necessitated formal by-laws. Guidelines and duties of the officers and governing board members were also put in writing and adopted.
Year by year, businesses and social activities were expanded to include such events as an annual Trade Fair, sporting competitions, charity fundraisers, support groups, and seminars. By the involvement and presence of the BBA in these activities, its credibility continues to rise.
