HOW IT WORKS Property owners make a small annual investment in the Lawrenceville BID that provides for services such as graffiti removal and sidewalk sweeping. These funds can raise additional money to allow for even more improvements to the district. The BID rate is estimated to be $10 per linear foot.

WHY FRONTAGE? The majority of BIDs use assessed value to calculate fees. Using frontal footage instead of assessed value guarantees property owners pay equitable fees.
