Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership
The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership, a local business improvement district (BID), fosters an inclusive vibrant community anchored by Myrtle Avenue. We do this by engaging and supporting our neighbors, cultivating partnerships, building community capacity, identifying needs and providing services that connect our neighbors to resources and opportunities.
The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Business Improvement District (BID) supports a vibrant, neighborhood commercial corridor that serves a diverse community of property owners, businesses, residents, workers, and visitors. The BID does this by maintaining a clean and safe environment, marketing district assets, advocating for our small business community, planning & undertaking urban improvements, producing cultural and community programming, and promoting local hiring.
To learn more about the BID’s former and longtime partner organization “MARP,” please visit the Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project LDC’s history page.
The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn BID was signed into law in November 2004. The BID encompasses those properties fronting Myrtle Avenue from Flatbush Avenue Extension to Classon Avenue (map available here).
