Uptown Business Improvement District

Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are special assessment districts, which means they can collect revenues if enough property owners in their district vote to support doing so. BIDs promote and encourage economic vitality and growth in their business districts.  BIDs can use funds to:

• Support neighborhood businesses through marketing and business development.
• Provide enhanced service to the district (such as landscaping and street cleaning).
• Maintain improvements made by a Corridor Improvement Authority.

The Uptown BID encompasses four business districts in their development area: East Fulton, Wealthy Street, East Hills, and Eastown. Uptown also has a Corridor Improvement Authority.

Ongoing Projects

• Uptown Ambassador Program
• Tree maintenance
• Landscape maintenance
