Our Mission The Livingston Community Partnership Management Corporation (BID) is dedicated to promoting Livingston's business districts as a preferred commercial destination. The LCP is committed to strengthening the Business Improvement District as the center of community life. This includes improving the District's economic viability by supporting existing businesses and encouraging the establishment of new enterprises and marketing activities that complement existing stores and services. The LCP will focus on making Downtown Livingston a safer, cleaner and more attractive pedestrian environment in order to serve the needs of local residents and to attract new shoppers and visitors from throughout the region. The LCP was created by a group of dedicated Livingston business people and residents who love where they work and live and wanted to see Livingston continue to thrive in changing times. A strictly volunteer organization, these hard working visionaries donate their time, talent and service to keep Livingston business healthy and growing and make sure the Livingston business area continues to invest in itself and its future.
