Serving the Grove since 2009.

The Grove Community Improvement District is tasked with strengthening and fostering an active business, entertainment, and residential community.

The CID was established in 2009 to improve the area’s safety and appearance. Today, it is run by an 11-member Board of Directors, made up of property owners and/or business operators within the district with a purpose of funding and managing services and projects within the district. Examples of this include providing security, cleaning initiatives, providing additional off-street parking, marketing the businesses within the CID, funding special events, and promoting business retention and development.

All of this is facilitated with money collected from special assessments on properties in the district and an additional 1% sales tax collected on all retail sales (approved by the registered voters residing the in District).

SOCIAL MEDIA

We exist to promote and celebrate you, the businesses of the Grove! If you have some great new pics, a special event coming up, or just started offering something new - let us know!

EngageTaste is charged with managing the primary social media for the Grove. Make sure you tag your own posts #grovestl so she can find them and/or email a photo and details directly to marketing@pcd-stl.org.

We also have a photographer, Matt Middeke, who is available on a limited basis for a mini photo shoot at your business or he’ll just be popping through catching realness on the streets of the Grove. Reach out to Sara directly to schedule some dedicated time with him.
