Honolulu is establishing a new Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) effective October 20, 2025, expanding safety and cleanliness efforts across a larger downtown area.
Funded by business assessments, the BID will boost street cleaning, lighting, landscaping, and security, with operations launching by July 2026.
Officials aim to improve the area’s appeal for workers, residents, and businesses, supporting economic growth.
