Fiscal Responsibility

The B.I.D. is a set of business owners who are contributing their time, money and energy to attracting and keeping business in Chatsworth. As business owners, each member realizes the necessity for fiscal responsibility with the funds contributed by stakeholders. This includes looking for new ways to drive down material costs as competition and new technology emerges.

The B.I.D. is always looking for input on new ways to drive down costs. If you have suggestions as a stakeholder, please complete the B.I.D. Quarterly Survey to provide input and feedback for improvements.

Some examples of our efforts include our website and street maintenance consolidation and cost reduction.

In addition, our efforts include generating revenue for the B.I.D. to increase the impact we make with the funds. Revenue generated through festivals, fairs, parades and websites supplement maintenance costs and special projects.
