Since the FCBID launched its programming in 1994: crime has decreased 70%; our sanitation team has bagged 5,131 tons of litter; the Information Kiosk has served more than 180,000 people; millions have accessed the FCBID publications, website and touchscreen display; thousands have attended FCBID business development seminars; and 225,000 watts of light, 80 decorative lampposts, 7 gateway information pylons, 250 address plaques, 100 flower baskets, 300 street signs, 100 trash receptacles and the Summer Garden have all been added to the Fashion District streetscape.

In addition, the FCBID homeless outreach program provides assistance to those in need; infrastructure and quality of life issues are vigorously pursued; and the shift in Fashion District tenancy has led to a redirection of our promotional efforts to emphasize the neighborhood’s new creative mix of theaters, artists and arts organizations and its increasingly competitive retail and restaurant market.
