ABOUT OUR BID
Seventeen years ago, a group of Fifth Avenue property owners and retailers contributed funds for a clean up crew consisting of just two part-time employees. The purpose of that nascent Clean Team was to show how we could improve the appearance of our neighborhood and thereby encourage others to support the creation of a Business Improvement District (BID) that would keep our area clean, safe and welcoming. Today, our 44 member staff provides supplemental security and sanitation services; we also assist tourists and act as an advocate for Fifth Avenue from 46th Street to 61st Street and 57th Street from Madison Avenue to Avenue of the Americas.
For more specific details on our services, see SECURITY, SANITATION, VISITOR ASSISTS and/or THEN AND NOW on the left side of this page.
You can also use this web site to find RETAIL STORES, HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, CHURCHES or BANKS within our district by clicking the appropriate title on the left and scrolling to your location.
