Midtown Community Benefits District

The Midtown Community Benefits District is a citizen-run neighborhood advocacy and improvement group authorized by law in 1996 to provide security and sanitation services along with promotional activities for a 150-block area. The District is made up of four communities: Bolton Hill, Charles North, Madison Park and Mount Vernon/Belvedere which is managed by a Management Authority. Each resident and stakeholder is a member of the Benefits District and is represented by the Board of Directors – also comprised mainly of residents and stakeholders from these neighborhoods. The District’s efforts are funded by taxpayer approved property tax surcharge. The special community benefits district was created by voter referendum in an effort to make our neighborhoods stronger, better places to live and work.
