There are hundreds of BIDs throughout the United States - each with their own unique mission, challenges, goals, strategies, and vision. A truly successful BID will clearly understand the needs of its members and the district as a whole, maintain thoughtful and responsive lines of communication with its businesses and property owners, and work toward achieving its mission by utilizing some combination of physical visual enhancements, a clear marketing and communications plan, engaging and purpose driven events & programing, investments in public safety & security, as well as resource development and advocacy on behalf of its members. A winning combination of these and other efforts taken by the BID will ultimately shape and create a business community and overall identity that continues to bring investment and economic growth to the area and its members for years to come.
