About

The Montague Street Business Improvement District (BID) is a designated commercial area in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Funded by a special tax paid by property owners within the District boundaries, the Montague Street BID provides services to enhance, improve and keep the neighborhood clean and safe.

Serving more than 100 businesses, the District includes all properties on the north side of Montague Street between Court Street and Hicks Street. On the south side, the District runs from 200 Montague Street in the east to 78 Montague Street in the west.

We’re committed to making Montague Street a great place to live, work, shop and do business.

Advocacy

The BID regularly acts as an advocate when potential projects or policy impact the District’s merchants or property owners. BID representatives regularly attend workshops, testify at Community Board and other government hearings, and meet with city agency officials to voice the concerns and needs of the business community.

When merchants have specific concerns, the BID provides one-on-one assistance to resolve the issue or directs them to the appropriate organization or agency that can help.

The BID advocates for a well-maintained streetscape by monitoring the condition of Montague’s street furniture, roadbed, sidewalks, and signage. We report all elements that are damaged or in need of replacement to the appropriate City agency.

Team

Founded in 1998, the Montague Street Business Improvement District is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Its Board of Directors, composed of property owners, commercial tenants, elected officials, and resident and community representatives, govern the BID.
