SERVICES OF THE “BID”
Our Business Improvement District (BID) “Clean, Safe, and Beautiful” services are funded by property owners in a 75 block area of Downtown Mobile. Our Crewe of Stewards has been established by the property owners to maintain the appearance of the BID, so as to present a consistently clean, orderly, and beautiful space for all resi- dents and visitors. The Crewe of Regents has been established by the property owners to provide residents and visitors with on-demand assistance in the form of motorist aid, visitor information, and regular patrols of our district. They offer a friendly, informed presence to pedestrians and workers.
Should you be in need of any BID Services, just dial 251-327-SAFE (7233) Downtown Mobile Bicycle Rental Program

The Urban Emporium is Mobile's retail incubator, a project of the non-profit Springboard to Success. The Urban Emporium was established in 2011 to reinvigorate Downtown Mobile's retail scene by creating a low barrier to entry into the marketplace. By providing an environment where staffing, a point-of-sale system and educational support are provided, the UE offers the ideal opportunity for aspiring or expanding retailers to test the down- town market. If you're interested in joining the successful tenants at the UE (some of whom have already gone on to open independ- ent storefronts), please contact Kati Lovvorn at 251-441-8044. You can also help by donating to Springboard to Success, the 501(c)3 whose mission is to provide a supportive and educational environment for independent retailers in Mobile. Contact Fred Rendfrey at 251-434-8498 if you would like to help.
