Save the Date: Virtual Annual Meeting 5.12.21

Mark your calendars for the Lincoln Square BID's 24th Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 12 at 9:15am. This meeting will take place virtually over Zoom, as it did last year. 

The purpose of this virtual meeting is to present the Fiscal Year 2022 budget, elect Directors to the Board, amend the Bylaws, and to discuss our programs and the district's recovery. If you are an owner of real property, a commercial tenant (own a business or work in a business), a residential tenant (renter or coop owner) or a residential owner (i.e. condo) within the boundaries of the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District and are eligible to vote, you will be able to pre-register soon. Check back for a link to registration. We will also hear from Gene Spiegelman, Vice Chairman and Principal of RIPCO Real Estate (see below for bio).
