Coconut Grove BID

If your business is located within the downtown "village center" of Coconut Grove, you are, no doubt, a part of the BID, which stands for Business Improvement District, a special, self-assessing district with a focus of improving the retail and commercial area within the designated area of the district. The funds collected are used for increasing and enhancing the services provided by the city, as well as towards specific marketing efforts such as advertising and special events.
