Avenue NYC Program

In Fall of 2020, the Morris Park Business Improvement District was awarded the 3 year Avenue NYC Commercial Revitalization Grant.

The Department of Small Business Services’ (SBS) Avenue NYC program is a competitive multiyear grant program aimed at building the capacity of partner organizations to better understand neighborhood needs, develop impact programs and sustain their work in the community for at least three years. During the three-year grant term, grantees will be supported in hiring a dedicated full-time Avenue NYC Program Manager who will participate in a cohort-based learning and training program, conduct an in-depth district assessment and execute commercial revitalization programs and services.
