Founded in 1995, the Port Washington B.I.D. has initiated long lasting improvements for the commercial district. With the support of former Nassau County Legislator Craig Johnson and former County Legislator Wayne Wink, the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (BID) was awarded $50,000 in funding for street-scape improvements from the Nassau County Office of Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs through the County’s Community Redevelopment program. Combined with $160,000 raised by the BID through a bond issue in 2002, many physical improvements have been made around the town. This includes all of the brick paving, tree wells, new trees and plantings, pedestrian benches and nautical-themed street signs to name a few.
Meetings of the BID Board of Directors are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are currently held in person at 329 Main Street.
