FDC and the Flatbush-Nostrand Junction
Steering Committee officially completed the 11-step city process when the Flatbush Nostrand Junction BID was signed into law by Mayor Bloomberg. The district
includes all properties on both sides of Flatbush Avenue between

Nostrand Avenue between Glenwood Road and past Avenue H to the Long
Island Railroad Line; and Hillel Place between Flatbush Avenue and

What is a BID?
A Business Improvement District, or a BID, is a specific
geographic area established in accordance with New York State and
City law which enables local property owners, business owners and
residents to finance supplemental services and improvements beyond
those provided by local government.
How will a BID benefit
our community?
The members of the BID Board
of Directors determine its budget and services. Business owners and
property owners cooperatively address problems such as street cleaning,
graffiti removal, marketing, holiday lighting and security. The Flatbush
Nostrand Junction BID will also undertake supplement security and
sanitation programs, and promotion (e.g. street fairs, advertising,
holiday decorations), storefront improvement and technical assistance
to BID members. These services and improvements are in addition to
and not a replacement of current city services. |
