What is AvenueNYC?
The AvenueNYC Commercial Revitalization Program is a 3-year grant program administered by the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS). It supports community-based organizations in planning and implementing programs for a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future of local main streets.

The Collaborative further partners with and is supported by local community organizations and elected officials:
