Steering Commitee

We have formed a steering committee comprised of stakeholders from both the current BID and the adjacent commercial corridors. The committee meets monthly and is tasked with gaining a strong understanding of current conditions and helping to define a collective vision for the future of the neighborhood. Through conversations with stakeholders within the current BID and in the proposed expansion area, we’ve learned more about the desire for BID services in adjacent commercial corridors and are continuing to learn about the needs of our neighborhood.
