Downtown’s Atlantic Avenue BID taps Kate Chura as executive director
Chura will also continue to lead Brooklyn Heights’ Montague Street BID
The Atlantic Avenue Business Improvement District has tapped Kate Chura as executive director to lead their efforts to support the local businesses of the downtown Brooklyn commercial stretch.
Chura, who has served as interim director of the organization for the past nine months, is also currently the executive director of the neighboring Montague Street Business Improvement District in Brooklyn Heights.
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) promote and market small businesses, serve as a liaison between local businesses, stakeholders and city government, advocate for improvements on behalf of local businesses and keep commercial areas in neighborhoods clean and safe.
Combined, the Montague Street and Atlantic Avenue BIDs are made up of more than 450 small businesses including delis, restaurants, bars, bakeries, coffee shops, retail shops, medical and dental offices, real estate agencies, spas and salons, gyms, yoga studios, printers, antique and bike shops.
