The BID was established in 1992, with the mission of improving the King Drive District. The district has since fostered a culture that enjoys a trendy and authentic retail experience while attracting businesses that embrace the commitment to hard work and strong character that the area was founded on. Over the past 15 years, there has been over $400 million of new development in the BID. The BID members, partners, and the Harambee residential community work together to cultivate a thriving community.
