 The Peekskill BID knows that to be effective, we need the broad input and participation of downtown’s commercial tenants and business owners. Currently, the BID is working on: organizing and recruiting for our Annual Members Meeting and BID Board Election on February 23, 2012 and developing an initial 2012 BID work plan and budget that will shape plans for the coming year.
The next BID Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 7th from 6pm to 8:15pm in the Senior Nutrition Room at the Neighborhood Center at 4 Nelson Avenue (all BID members are always welcome). To see what’s on the agenda or minutes from past meetings, click here. |
 Dear Peekskill BID Members,
I am writing to introduce myself -- my name is Jason Angell and I accepted the position of Executive Director/Administrator of the Peekskill Business Improvement District (BID) in November. One of our highest priorities will be to strengthen the BID's relationship with its members and over the coming months I look forward to meeting you all personally to hear your thoughts on how the BID can better serve your interests as business owners. Working together, with new energy and ideas, I see great potential in the BID's ability to affect positive change in Peekskill. Read more...

The Business Improvement District’s “Peekskill Makes Me Merry” Campaign was a success, largely thanks to the participation of BID members, with 30 stores signing up for holiday promotions to attract shoppers downtown, seven businesses serving as “stops” on the “Peekskill Pub & Eat Crawl”, and 10 businesses participating in “Peekskill’s Best Dressed Storefront” contest. During the campaign, we handed out 1,400 promotional buttons and our advertising campaign helped attract people to downtown and increased visits to the BID website by 25% (up to 3,200 visits for December).
Thanks you for all of your work, holiday spirit and faith that we can help contribute to making Peekskill merrier when we work together. We will look to build upon the event next year! Happy New Year. |
