While each Business Improvement District (BID) manages different areas of the City, and has varying missions, their overall goal is similar. Albany's BIDs assist in economic development, promote the businesses and services within their district, and create a clean, safe environment for workers, residents, and visitors. BIDs levy a special tax assessment to finance improvements and supplemental services in designated commercial areas. Each BID office maintains a listing of current merchants, as well as available sites within their districts for new businesses.
