The East Harlem 125th Street BID Steering Committee, a group of businesses, property owners, residents, and elected officials, is proposing to create a new Business Improvement District (BID) along 125th Street between just east of Fifth Avenue to Second Avenue, south to 124th Street on some block faces and north to 128th Street on some block faces.

The BID would be the first for East Harlem, which is currently the only community district in Manhattan without one. A BID will help us make a positive impact on our community – addressing issues including cleanliness, beautification and public safety.

We’re hosting two public meetings for property owners and tenants who own a property, run a business or organization, or reside within the proposed BID district (marked green on the full map here). The information shared in each session will be the same, so you need to only join one:

Thursday, February 8, 6 p.m.

Tuesday, February 27, 10 a.m.

The Caribbean Cultural Center, 120 East 125th Street (Park/Lex)

The meeting will be in-person, with an online option. Register to attend here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdA8WDVLM4cxLv0P2rrH1Yz1W1AFqbvXuFZp6mhLBeo88R7hA/viewform

If you own property, run a business or organization, or reside within this district, you can help the effort by completing a statement of support: https://uptowngrandcentral.org/bid-formation.
