Center Street Marketplace BID 39’s purpose is to improve the negative perceptions of crime and safety between the boundaries of 34th and 58th Streets on W. Center St.

BID 39 also is requesting the public’s opinion on businesses they want to see on Center Street.

Alderman Russell W. Stamper, II encourages citizens to take advantage of these volunteer opportunities. “Volunteers are needed in multiple capacities to help in BID 39’s endeavors, and this is a great opportunity to assist the Center Street Marketplace while working to improve the community,” Alderman Stamper said.

Common Council President Michael J. Murphy, whose 10th Aldermanic District also includes a portion of BID 39, said community volunteers and assistance can “make a significant difference” in giving BID 39 strong ties to the community. “The BID 39 board is new and is poised to do some outstanding work along Center Street, and I ask citizens to strongly consider being a part of this dynamic atmosphere by volunteering their time and talents,” he said.

Alderman Willie C. Wade, whose 7th Aldermanic District includes a portion of BID 39, energetically echoed the sentiments of his colleagues: “The health of any commercial area is determined by the support and relationships it has with the surrounding neighborhoods and people. Please come out to the community kick-off event on Saturday and see what opportunities exist, and also see what positive difference you can make.”
