There are 4 and soon to be 5 Business Improvement Districts (BID) within the Board area or on our boarder: The Grand Central Partnership, 34th Street Partnership, the newly formed East Midtown Association, 14th Street/Union Square and in the process of being formed, the 23rd Street Association. We applaud these BIDs for improving, and continue to improve the quality of life within the district. We encourage the City to continue to endorse new BIDs.
