About Us:
The Court-Livingston-Schermerhorn Business Improvement District (CLS BID) began operations in October 2007 and serves nearly 200 properties in Downtown Brooklyn.  The district roughly contains Schermerhorn and Livingston Streets, stretching from Flatbush Avenue to Court Street and Court Street stretching from Atlantic Avenue to Joralemon Street

The CLS BID is managed by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, a not-for-profit development corporation that seeks to improve and develop the greater Downtown Brooklyn community. Two other major Downtown Brooklyn BIDs, MetroTech BID and Fulton Mall Improvement Association, are also members of the Partnership. Combined, these BIDs provide the Downtown Brooklyn community with nearly $6 million in supplementary services.

Board of Directors:
Fran Schor, President of The Treeline Companies, serves as Chair of the CLS BID’s Board of Directors, which is comprised of property owners, commercial and residential tenants, and government officials. Download a complete board list.
