| | Business improvement district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | BIDs are grassroots organizations, that are driven by community support and require legislative authorization by the municipality in which it resides, in order to be established. | | | A business improvement district (BID) (also known as a special improvement district or a business improvement area) is a public/private sector partnership in which property and business owners of a defined area elect to make a collective contribution to the maintenance, development and marketing/promotion of their commercial district. | | | The services provided by BIDs are a supplement to the services already provided by the municipality. |
