West Shore BID
In May 2012, SIEDC was selected by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) to assist in developing a new industrial business improvement district on the West Shore of Staten Island. Since its inception in July 2015, the West Shore Business Improvement District (WS BID) has provided much-needed services including private maintenance, private security, signage, and wayfinding, advocacy on behalf of property owners, and important infrastructure improvements. The ultimate goal of the WS BID is to transform the West Shore into a premier industrial corridor for Staten Island and the City.

Richmond Avenue
In 2022, Councilman Joseph Borelli charged SIEDC with launching a Business Improvement District (BID) exploration project along one of the borough’s most significant shopping corridors: Richmond Avenue via creation of the Richmond Avenue Merchants Association. With a focus on the heavily trafficked stretch from approximately Rockland Avenue to Forest Hill Road, outreach and a community needs assessment was begun. Merchants located on the approximately 2 mile district, home to the Staten Island Mall, multiple large shopping plazas and numerous other big box retailers such as the borough’s only Costco, are excited about the premise for joint marketing, beautification efforts and additional business support that can prevent shoppers from crossing the bridge to New Jersey for shopping excursions. One of the first visible efforts in the district is the installation of festive holiday lights designed to enhance the area during the peak shopping season.
