Fulton BID Gaining Momentum
With an end finally in sight for the infrastructure and repaving work that has plagued the already-down-on-its-luck stretch of Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, momentum is building for a new Business Improvement District to help improve the quality of life and retailing environment.

With an end finally in sight for the infrastructure and repaving work that has plagued the already-down-on-its-luck stretch of Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, momentum is building for a new Business Improvement District to help improve the quality of life and retailing environment. There’s a meeting tonight at the Fort Greene Senior Citizens Council, 966 Fulton Street (between St. James Place and Grand Avenue) at 6:30 p.m. tonight hosted by Council Member Letitia James. Update: Thanks to cobblehller for providing this link to information on the proposed BID. Importantly, the site states that the BID is to cover the entire stretch of Fulton from Flatbush to Classon as well as some side streets.
It might have been helpful if Brownstoner provided some links to more information.

11233, just answer the question: how are you able to determine which storefronts on Fulton Street sell drugs and which are simply crappy stores?
Ok, you go get your facts straight and then let us know what you find out. If you don’t think there is a fee attached to this, and that a store owner will be forced to pay it then why don’t they just do it without asking the businesses?
Oh I just adore it when people call me names, don’t you? It really makes my day! Love you too 11233!
Wait…that flyer must be gospel!!!
Just like the fliers which were sent out in Virginia saying that Democrats should vote on November 5th…
“They don’t see it What. These guys have money or they have family to back them up. They don’t care, it’s an inconvenience to them, it’s not a ‘problem’.”

No, CH’er, you’re the charmer. And an idiot. BTW: The flier may, or may not, have any facts associated with it. If you can’t see that there is a potential for spin – on both sides – you are, in fact, a moron. I didn;t dispute anything filmmer noted, but it would be interesting how much is fact and how much is spin.
ENY: Can’t admit you don’t know what you are talking about? Sad and immature. Why should anyone take you seriously?
filmmer–thanks for putting that up. interesting to see the strategy and concerns of the BID opponents. I still think that businesses are being short sighted about what this money could do in the longer term. It just doesn’t sound like that much money.
tinarina: I have only shopped in the Met twice so far so I can’t claim any special knowledge but it didn’t seem as bad as all that. I wonder though about their opposition. I find it hard to believe that 500 a month would seriously hinder a business of that size.
Color me confused about the whole thing. I just want Fulton Street to be a functioning commercials strip and will support whatever plan makes that happen most effectively.
“here is some information from an anti-bid flyer i was given”
Of course! These concerns are all shared by the storefront drug dealers (not) identified by 11233.
You’re such a charmer 11233!
I was on my way home, but really I don’t have much more to add to your inflammatory and disrespectful post. filmmer has just added some good notes that say it all.
Thanks for the cheery note, have a good day!
“ENY: If you knew the interesection I was referring to in my post @ 3:51, you would know there is only one bogeda even close to the location I mentioned.”
As I said, and you have now confirmed, you didn’t name a specific bodega. I’ll ask again: how are you able to determine which storefronts on Fulton Street sell drugs and which are simply crappy stores?
