The Flatbush Ave. BID’s District Plan is the governing document that describes the BID and includes the formula used to assess properties within the District. Right now, the BID is trying to update this document to make sure that the assessment formula is fair and that it takes into account future growth within the BID. Read the 4-part proposal here:  FABID_District Plan Proposed Updates for Membership 12-11-18pdf

This Nov. 25, we want to share Small Business Saturday with you! It’s a holiday shopping tradition that celebrates small businesses like the ones in our BID. Also, on that day, we are bringing Santa and distributing “Shop Small” giveaways to shoppers from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. outside the Citibank at 885 Flatbush Ave. (corner of Church Ave.). We’ve ordered additional freebies and store decorations for the BID’s businesses…contact us asap if you would like items dropped off at your business (while supplies last)!

So mark your calendar for Nov. 25 — the Saturday after Thanksgiving — and get ready to Shop Small in the Flatbush Ave. BID.

You can help get the word out and celebrate Small Business Saturday by using #shopsmall on Facebook and all your social networks.

Thank you for all your support, and see you Saturday, Nov. 25!
