The Association of Business Improvement Districts

The Association of Business Improvement Districts (BID) is a membership organization that supports and advocates for BIDs—special zones within urban areas where local businesses fund additional services like clean streets, security, and marketing to improve their neighborhood’s environment and attract customers. BIDs operate through collective investment, enhancing economic vitality and quality of life. The association provides resources, best practices, and a unified voice to promote sustainable development and effective management of these districts nationwide, ensuring that local business districts remain vibrant, safe, and attractive for residents, shoppers, and visitors alike.
