About The New Rochelle Downtown BID
Downtown New Rochelle is represented by the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (NRBID or the BID). Established in 2000, the NRBID is a not-for-profit organization representing over 800 assessed properties and stakeholders, including property owners, businesses, and institutional entities, within the downtown district.
Today, the NRBID works to support a clean, safe, and welcoming downtown while advancing economic development, strengthening local businesses, and fostering community activity and engagement.
The organization is governed by a 14-member Board of Directors, including property owners, local business owners, City representatives, and residents.
The By-Laws originally established a 13-member Board, and the July 15, 2025 Board vote added one additional Commercial Tenant seat, bringing the authorized Board to 14 members.
