THE GBID GETS IT DONE!
Our Gulch Business Improvement District (GBID) staff works every day in
the district, focusing on keeping The Gulch clean, safe and attractive.
They have been at work for you for more than 3,000 days since the GBID
started up on January 1, 2007—with a noticeable difference. Daily litter
removal, sidewalk sweeping and pressure washing, weed removal, and
removing graffiti tags (an average of 23 per month) within 24 hours to
prevent recurrences. It’s all in a day’s work for the GBID team.
Your GBID assessments also support safety/hospitality teams who assist
visitors and provide extra security—helping make The Gulch a safe place
to live, work, shop and eat. The GBID has also added more trash
receptacles to the district, seasonal flower planters along the streets, and
70 banners (replaced twice each year).
The Gulch neighborhood has changed dramatically since 2007—and
more hotels, offices and residential developments are under construction
and planned. By the end of 2015, the GBID will have over 2,000 residents
and about 3,000 employees. With increased density and more visitors
coming to hotels, restaurants and shops, the GBID’s focused attention to
details will be even more important.

The current GBID term ends December 31, 2016. To continue the services
now provided (plus any additional programs that are needed), GBID
property owners must participate in the process required to have Metro
Council re-establish the district. Otherwise, these services stop. Imagine
all the litter, weeds, and graffiti tags you would see!

KEEP THE GBID GOING!
Now is the time to get involved in the GBID campaign. Earlier this year we surveyed property owners

preliminary plan of work and budget for 2017 and beyond. In June and July, you may continue to
have input into these draft documents. Don’t miss your chance to participate!
