Who We Are

Established in 2002, the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District (EPABID) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of one of Philadelphia’s longest-standing commercial corridors. Director and board members meet regularly to oversee its programs, including capital and facade improvement projects, marketing and promotions, special events, business recruitment and retention, and clean and green initiatives.

The EPABID is authorized by Philadelphia City Council legislation. Take a look at our Ordinance and Bylaws - updated in 2024 - to the right.
