About Us

Our History & Mission

The Crouse–Marshall Business Improvement District (CMBID) was formed to maintain improvements and address any issues and concerns of the retail and business sector in the area.

The neighborhood surrounding the Crouse–Marshall business district serves area residents; local professionals; students from Syracuse University, SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, and SUNY Upstate Medical University, as well as the many visitors to the area each day. The main thoroughfares of South Crouse Avenue and Marshall Street are where the campus meets the community.
