Last month, the Hartford BID played host to a large delegation from the city of Boston who came to Downtown Hartford to look at the city’s largest business improvement district. More than 15 property owners, developers and staffers from the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Downtown Crossing Partnership spent the morning in Downtown Hartford.
The group from Boston was led by BRA Director John Palmieri. Palmieri commented, “We had an exceptionally productive morning with the Hartford team, and were particularly impressed by the BID's commitment to the "clean and safe" requirements of the District. The streets were immaculate and the team of Ambassadors looked sharp. [The Ambassadors] were obviously well trained and committed to the mission. The Hartford model is one that we will learn from as we work with property owners in the Downtown Crossing neighborhood to advance the BID program in Boston.
From the BID’s perspective, it was truly our pleasure to host the delegation from Boston and show off what we have accomplished here in Hartford. When we were developing the Hartford BID in 2006 we made similar treks to other cities to view their best practices.
