Livingston Business Improvement Dis
The mission of the lbid is to facilitate an improved business climate, which is heavily dependent on tourism. The lbid also improves the functional characteristics of the business district, such as enhancing the streetscape, conducting the maintenance that the city of livingston does not have the funds to perform, improving security and safety, conserving the historical nature of the downtown area, and develop a strong, aggressive marketing program to advertise the area. The lbid was formed in 2011 after a majority (60%+)of the downtown business owners signed a petition in favor of creating the district,which was then approved by the city commission. In fiscal 2021, by vote of the city commission, the lbid was renewed for an additional 10 years, expiring in march 2031. Property owners within the district pay an additional tax to fund the purposes of the lbid.
