Proposed BID Expansion
As the neighborhood grows and evolves, so does the need for further districtwide promotions, advocacy, and public realm services & enhancements.
In April 2020, the Flatiron BID Expansion Steering Committee submitted its BID expansion proposal and documented statements of support to the NYC Department of Small Business Services for its formal consideration and review. On November 30, 2020, the proposal entered the the public review and legislative approval phase.
The BID expansion received support from committees of Community Board 4 and 5 in December 2020 and on January 20, 2021 received a public hearing at the City Planning Commission. City Planning submitted its recommendation for the expansion of this Business Improvement District to the City Council. The City Council Finance Committee reviewed the proposal and held a public hearing on the expansion plan on Thursday, May 27, 2021. On July 29, 2021 the City Council Finance Committee approved the proposal which moved the legislation to a City Council Vote.
On July 29, 2021 the City Council voted to approve the legislation that will expand the boundaries of the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District as of January 1, 2022.
