New Business Improvement District Could Be Coming To Wash Heights

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — A Business Improvement District looks to be in the works for a stretch of Broadway in Washington Heights.

Community League of the Heights (CLOTH), along with other uptown stakeholders, is leading an effort to form a BID on Broadway between 155th and 178th streets.

A BID is a geographical area where local stakeholders oversee and fund the maintenance, improvement, and promotion of their commercial district.

CLOTH is working alongside other local nonprofits, businesses, and residents to form the BID.

Over the next several months, CLOTH will work through in-person visits, public engagements, and other community discussion sessions to gather feedback about the proposed BID location.

The organization also just released a survey about the possible BID that includes the following questions about the uptown stretch of Broadway.

• How would you rate the visual appearance along Broadway?
• Garbage removal on Broadway is?
• Sidewalks along Broadway are clean?
• Daytime crime is an issue along Broadway?
• I would like to see a better retail mix along Broadway?
• I would like to see more community oriented events?

Community League of the Heights is a multi-service community development organization dedicated to supporting and empowering the economically disadvantaged residents of Washington Heights, Inwood, and Hamilton Heights.
