New Management

September 7, 2011

On August 15^th, the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership assumed management of the MetroTech BID’s programs and services. The Partnership, a non-profit local development corporation, also manages the programs and services of the other two Downtown Brooklyn BIDs: the Fulton Mall Improvement Association and the Court-Livingston-Schermerhorn BID.

The Partnership will provide a wide range of services for the businesses, merchants, residents and visitors within the MetroTech BID district. One of our primary responsibilities will continue to be daily supplemental sanitation services and landscaping services to ensure the area is clean and attractive. In addition, the MetroTech BID’s security services will be enhanced with the hiring of more security guards, to ensure that Downtown Brooklyn remains one of the safest neighborhoods in the City. MetroTech’s security team will continue to be led by Security Director Pete Coyne, who can be reached at 718-797-5996.

The Partnership and the BID will provide other services as well, including façade improvement and window display grants to local merchants; the ValueCard discount program; and shopping guides and other marketing services to promote shopping in the district. In addition, the Partnership actively assists property owners in attracting retail and commercial office tenants. The Partnership works with various City agencies to improve Downtown’s infrastructure and beautify its streetscape. And it continues to partner with all levels of government and local stakeholders to plan for the future growth of Downtown Brooklyn.

To better serve the MetroTech BID district, the Partnership is looking to fill a new full-time “Services Manager” position. Click here for the Services Manager job description.
