Business Services and Role in
Southwest Detroit
Rob Linn, BID Manager
Business Improvement Districts
• A Business Improvement District (BID) is
funded and run by business and property
owners. BIDs exist solely to improve
business conditions for area businesses.
• Similar to a mall’s Common Area
Maintenance (CAM) fee.
Business Improvement Districts
• More than 1,200 BIDs nationwide
• Though services depend on the needs of
the neighborhood, BIDs often develop offstreet parking, conduct market studies,
sponsor events, provide supplemental
cleaning and security services, invest in
landscaping and beautification, and provide
business technical assistance.

BID – though downtown is working on
