[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Here is the NOHO BID 2024 update! See what our business improvement district has done for the neighborhood!

Do you know the NoHo BID?

The NoHo Arts District is an arts district because of the theatres, dance studios, recording studios and the many folks who create art. It stays an arts district because of these performing and visual artists. But there is one group that has helped to #KeepNoHoArtsy (and clean and safe) – the NoHo Business Improvement District (NOHO BID). 

In 2007, NoHo property owners and the City of Los Angeles joined forces to create a not-for-profit  501 C 6 organization to reduce crime, increase property values and to make the NoHo Arts District a better place to live, work, invest and enjoy. 

The North Hollywood Business Improvement District (NoHo BID) began the process of renewing the BID for a new six-year term in 2024 and thanks to the support of property owners in the NoHo Arts District the NoHo BID was successfully renewed for a third time.  If not renewed, BID services such as the safety ambassador team or maintenance team would end.

The NoHo BID has made the area cleaner and safer and in doing so, it has attracted new investment, new development, and new businesses.  

The BID has encouraged improvements to existing properties and secured several streetscape improvements, making the area more attractive and pedestrian friendly, as well as generating positive publicity about the Arts District and its members, and has created a unified voice for its property owners.

Here is the NOHO BID’s 2024 update!
