The Riverhead Business Improvement District proudly represents the unique and diverse community of downtown Riverhead. Through events, marketing, digital and networking, the BID raises awareness of cultural, economic and tourism initiatives and actively engages in revitalization activity.
The BID has an incredibly positive impact on our town. It has transformed Main Street with many new and exciting businesses. Because of the BID's efforts, I see our town becoming a major tourist destination while still maintaining that country feel of the North Fork.
