GOING, GOING, GONE
ELECTION 'KILLS' ST. ARMANDS DISTRICT
By Stan Zimmerman

Ten years of good deeds came to an end
Wednesday, April 3. By a substantial 65 percent to 35 percent margin, the property owners of St. Armands Circle voted to discontinue
their Business Improvement District (BID).
The district levied a two-mill tax on property, raising about $220,000 per year. The money was used to beautify the shopping mecca, promote it as a destination and leverage
partnerships with other entities.
