BIDs (Business Improvement Districts)

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a designated area where local businesses fund additional services and improvements, such as cleaning, security, and marketing, to enhance the neighborhood’s appeal and vitality. Businesses within a BID agree to pay an extra levy, which is used collectively to support projects that benefit the entire area. This collaborative approach helps create a more attractive and competitive environment, encouraging increased foot traffic and economic growth. BIDs are managed by a local organization, representing the businesses, working closely with the community and government to improve the district’s overall quality and appeal.
