The Committee works to encourage and support existing businesses and future commercial businesses, understanding that one of the key elements of a thriving community is flourishing businesses and equal opportunity. The Committee works with developers, business improvement districts, merchant associations, and government agencies to foster the creation and retention of small, locally-based businesses by creating a business-friendly environment in Central Harlem that increases our residents’ commercial and retail opportunities. Additionally, the Committee is tasked with reviewing and issuing recommendations on NY State Liquor Authority liquor license applications and the Department of Consumer Affairs Sidewalk Café applications.
Meets the 2nd Thursday of every month at 6:30 pm
The meeting agendas are posted online in advance of each meeting (see calendar)
