The grand street bid is exploring expansion
The Grand Street Business Improvement District (BID) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit economic and community development organization serving Grand Street and its businesses from Union to Bushwick Avenues in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Stakeholders in the adjacent commercial corridors of the BID have expressed interest in receiving our supplemental services to address the changing needs in our community. We’re in conversation with business owners, property owners and residents along Metropolitan Ave, Union Ave, Lorimer St, Graham Ave, and Bushwick Ave to better understand community need and desires.
The areas outside of the current BID’s boundaries don’t have access to the services we provide on Grand Street, creating an imbalance from one street to another within the commercial area. Expanding the BID and its services would improve the quality of life along the commercial corridors in Williamsburg through advocacy and community connections. And, an expanded BID will help create a more defined sense of community identity that is representative of the diverse residents and businesses in our neighborhood.
