The Midtown Business Improvement District (BID) is launching a number of new initiatives this summer, targeted towards supporting local businesses and welcoming visitors and consumers back to the retail corridor following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Midtown BID was established in 2017 to support Midtown commercial property owners and businesses in collectively planning, funding, and implementing projects and programs. The BID is a special taxing district that utilizes its funding to support investments in business support, placemaking, and maintenance, marketing, promotion, and activation. Since its creation, the 9-member board of directors has been laying the groundwork for some bigger projects – many of which went on hold during the pandemic.
