Golden Triangle BID

Formed in 1998, the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID) enhances Washington, DC’s central business district, the 44-square-block neighborhood stretching from The White House to Dupont Circle. Home to roughly 6,000 businesses, the BID provides a clean, safe, and vibrant environment for hundreds of thousands of workers, residents, and visitors, and encourages economic development through capital projects, public art, sustainability, and events. The Golden Triangle is nationally recognized as a thought leader in a variety of areas including placemaking, safety and security, and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the Golden Triangle has been awarded LEED Platinum, the highest level of LEED certification, by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is the first BID in the world to be certified through the LEED for Communities program. The day-to-day management of the organization is overseen by a full-time staff headquartered in the center of the BID. The BID is a non-profit 501(c)(6) corporation that elects a Board of Directors to govern its activities. The BID established a non-profit affiliate, the Golden Triangle Charitable Corporation (GTCC), in 2017 to nurture key programs such as public art, green infrastructure, homeless services, emergency preparedness, and community events through partnerships with businesses, local government, philanthropic organizations and individuals.
