Woodhaven Business Improvement District
We are the Woodhaven BID, proudly serving the businesses, residents, and historical places that make Jamaica Avenue, from Dexter Court to 100th Street, the bustling, welcoming commercial heart of the Woodhaven community.
The Woodhaven Business Improvement District was established in 1993 by Woodhaven property owners, business investors, and community leaders to complement, expand, and actively encourage the full retail and commercial development of Woodhaven’s Jamaica Avenue into the new millennium and beyond.
Today, the BID works tirelessly to make Jamaica Avenue a destination where people love to shop, live, and do business. We sponsor exciting programs and memorable community events that bring neighbors together and celebrate the unique spirit of Woodhaven. We also partner with trusted outside vendors to deliver essential services, including regular sanitation and prompt graffiti and vandalism removal, keeping our streets clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone who visits, works, or calls this neighborhood home.
Our website provides you with everything you need to know: who we are, a searchable database of local merchants, details about our programs and services, and highlights of exciting events happening right here in our neighborhood. We hope you’ll visit often to discover everything we have planned for 2026 and beyond. When you shop local, you’re investing in our community — supporting local jobs, strengthening our neighborhoods, and keeping Woodhaven vibrant and thriving for everyone.

🧹 A Friendly Reminder from the Woodhaven BID 🧹
The Woodhaven BID provides supplemental sanitation services Wednesday through Monday to help keep our commercial district clean and welcoming.
Our sanitation team works hard every day, but keeping the sidewalk and curb area directly in front of your business or building is the responsibility of the store owner and property owner.
Please do your part by:
✔️ Sweeping the sidewalk in front of your business
✔️ Removing litter and debris
✔️ Keeping your storefront clean and inviting
A clean business district benefits everyone, our merchants, residents, and visitors and helps avoid sanitation violations.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep Woodhaven clean, safe, and welcoming! 💙
