North Shore business owners seeking public support to form Business Improvement District
Posted March 9, 2023 | By Jessica Jones-Gorman
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A steering committee of North Shore property and business owners is beginning public outreach efforts to achieve support for a Business Improvement District (BID) in Downtown Staten Island. The proposed BID would oversee and fund the maintenance, improvement and promotion of the business district to ensure its vitality.
“As a business owner and resident of Stapleton for over 38 years, I’ve lived through projects that were to be the hope of revitalization and were not, including the NY Wheel, Urby, Lighthouse Point, and the esplanade, to name a few,” noted long-time North Shore entrepreneur, Ettore Mazzei, owner of Edgewater Hall and Chez Vous Catering. “In my view, the Business Improvement District will contribute to the long-term steady growth of downtown Staten Island.”
