Excerpt:
It's a significant step, because BIDs have been transformative in emerging commercial areas around the city: Downtown, NoMa, and the Capitol Riverfront especially played key roles in making things happen for their little areas. In large part, it comes down to making the neighborhoods feel clean and safe, but BIDs can also band together to help create services. The Circulator bus, for example, was largely a BID-driven effort. It's especially important for Anacostia, where a Main Streets program died a few years ago, but which has perhaps the best chance to capture growth over the next few years.
