The Meatpacking Business Improvement District (BID) is the not-for-profit business alliance of the area whose mission is to support the business community and to keep the area clean, safe and beautiful for locals and visitors alike. Founded by the Meatpacking Improvement Association (MPIA), which was formed in 2010 by a small group of neighborhood property owners and key businesses, to expand upon the good work of the MPIA. The BID keeps the area clean, safe and beautiful through the expert work of our clean-team, landscapers and public safety officers.  We manage and maintain the district’s public spaces in partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation, represent and promote the area’s business interests, produce events and manage a marketing and public relations campaign for the neighborhood.
