The Kingsbridge Business Improvement District recently received an excellent performance evaluation rating from New York City's Department of Small Business Services. As a result, the BID received a five year contract renewal with that agency.

The Kingsbridge BID is one of 46 Business Improvement Districts established in New York City to provide supplemental sanitation, marketing and promotional services to local business communities. They are funded by a special tax assessment from property owners within the District.

The Kingsbridge District Management Association/ Kingsbridge Business Improvement District was formed in May 2001 with an annual budget of $235,000. A Board of Directors meets bi-monthly to oversee and approve the activities of the BID.

The Kingsbridge BID encompasses the commercial area along Broadway from W 230th to W 236th Sts. and along W 231st St. from the Major Deegan Expressway to Corlear Ave.
