About the Bed-Stuy Gateway Business Improvement District

 

The Vision of the Bed-Stuy Gateway BID Steering Committee:

We declare that the Bedford-Stuyvesant Gateway business district is the business and cultural destination of choice for all residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Clinton Hill, northern Crown Heights, Ocean Hill and Brownsville.

Through the services of the BID, We are committed to:
•      A safe, clean and aesthetically attractive commercial and cultural destination;
•      Fostering thriving and profitable businesses;
•      Providing a variety of retail goods and services from a mixture of national brand and locally-based companies, including minority and women-owned small businesses;
•    Valuing the diverse history, culture and styles of the residents of the Bedford-Stuyvesant and wider Central Brooklyn communities by offering goods and services that respond to the community’s wants and desires.
