The BID would likely convene a range of security providers to identify and address safety needs most salient to property owners, business, and residents. By offering a platform to discuss issues and coordinate with relevant authorities, the BID can deliver greater public safety impact.

The BID might contract “safety ambassadors” -- unarmed, uniformed, friendly faces that provide hospitality and cleaning services.

The Hyattsville Crossing BID would utilize social media and marketing to amplify businesses, events, and other attractions to create a destination for residents, employees, and visitors.

The BID could host events like summer concerts, movie nights, holiday events, farmers markets, business networking sessions, and more.

The BID can support equitable economic development in Hyattsville Crossing by providing support to small businesses and vulnerable populations, which may include networking sessions, information about funding opportunities, and connection to services.

The BID would also establish partnerships between public and private stakeholders. It could advocate for capital projects to improve the built environment and catalyze development by conducting outreach to brokers and prospective tenants, hosting business attraction events, and providing real-time research and market data.

The BID will be led by an Executive Director and supported by additional staff in subsequent years as the budget grows.

The Executive Director and leadership will ensure focused time and attention on Hyattsville Crossing. They will be directly accountable to BID stakeholders, reporting to a BID Board of Directors.
