BID Brightens Holidays
Our BID has brightened the upcoming Holiday Season with a dazzling display of lights along East Tremont Avenue! Arranged and paid for by our organization, it is just one spectacular activity we are sponsoring to make the community one of the best places to dine, shop, and live, not only during the festive season but throughout the year.
Gala-tic Success!
The Throggs Neck Bid’s First Annual Gala was an extraordinary success! Approximately 330 guests filled the Villa Barone Manor to celebrate the amazing success of the young organization, which included making the commercial district the cleanest in the borough, bringing new street lights, improving safety, and exceptional beatification, among many other accomplishments. So much more is planned for the future! Thanks to both those who attended and those who supported the evening by purchasing journal ads. (Photo: Executive Director Bob Jaen address the crowd.
