Business Improvement District RFP delayed two years
Newburgh
Summary
The Downtown District Alliance reminded the council that a 2024 grant to study a Business Improvement District still hasn't been used — the RFP was never issued. With about 100 businesses waiting and foot traffic struggling, they want it done now, and council members echoed the urgency.

Impact analysis
A grant has been in hand since 2024; the delay itself has cost the study momentum but no direct city funds yet.
Downtown small businesses across Wards 1, 2, and 4 would benefit from BID grants and coordination.
Small businesses facing low foot traffic continue to wait without BID support.
