About the LIC BID
Created in 2005, the original LIC BID encompassed the commercial corridors along Queens Plaza and Jackson Avenue to Court Square. It has since been expanded to include the commercial corridors continuing along Jackson Avenue, Vernon Boulevard, and 44th Drive. Managed by the Long Island City Partnership, the BID provides supplementary sanitation and visitor services within the District, and carries out community development and marketing initiatives that benefit the greater neighborhood.
We also work very closely with our Business Assistance team to help our businesses navigate a variety of different agencies and procedures. For any questions regarding the LIC BID or connection to our Business Assistance team, please reach out to BID Operations Director, Angel Hart (ahart@licpartnership.org).

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a formal organization made up of property owners and commercial tenants within a defined boundary, dedicated to promoting business development and improving an area’s quality of life. A special assessment paid by property owners within the district provides funding for a BID’s services. These services often include supplemental sanitation and maintenance, public safety, marketing and promotional programs, visitor services, capital improvements, and beautification.
New York City is home to the nation’s largest, most comprehensive network of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in the country. The City’s BIDs annually contribute over $100 million worth of services to more than 70,000 businesses in neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
