A Business Improvement District (BID) is a public-private partnership in which property and business owners come together to make a collective contribution toward the maintenance, development and promotion of their district.

BIDs are funded through special assessments paid by property owners in a clearly defined district. Over the past two decades, New York City BIDs has invested over $930 million into neighborhoods, providing critical supplementary support.

Northside Williamsburg, characterized by its blend of thriving commercial corridors, diverse residential communities, vibrant cultural scene, and dynamic industrial spaces, would greatly benefit from a hyperlocal BID model.

Establishing a Northside Improvement District presents an opportunity for North Brooklyn to address the emerging needs of a rapidly growing community by ensuring that essential services align directly with the neighborhood's unique identity and evolving needs, enhancing the quality of life and business vitality for all stakeholders.

Our district can improve quality of life by expanding services like sidewalk sweeping, street cleaning, public safety, and business initiatives.

Beyond these traditional expectations, the Northside Improvement District is designed with a special focus on the improvement and maintenance of parks and open spaces, including the future 27-acre Bushwick Inlet Park.
