MetroTech BID

Founded in 1992 as a non-profit business improvement district, the MetroTech Businss Improvement District (MTBID) works to further the revitalization of the 16-acre MetroTech Center, bounded by Jay Street, Johnson Street, Flatbush Avenue, and Myrtle Avenue. As a commercial and academic hub, MetroTech is home to major corporations like JP Morgan Chase, National Grid, and Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield; media and advertising companies like El Diario La Prensa and UniWorld Group; and academic institutions like Polytechnic Institute of NYU. In the fall of 2013, NYU's Center for Urban Science and Progress will also begin classes.

At the heart of MetroTech is the Commons, a 3.5-acre open space that hosts events including concerts, health fairs, film screenings, and holiday celebrations.

Programs and Services:
MTBID initiatives include a robust public safety program, sanitation services, and marketing and promotional services throughout a 25-square block district to businesses, universities, residences, and government agencies.
