East Harlem Retail Analysis
While our commercial corridors in East Harlem serve some of the community's needs, local residents often leave the community to purchase many of the goods and services they regularly consume. Community Board 11's Planning Fellow Paul Costa surveyed which commercial needs are not being met locally to develop a strategy on how we can more effectively capture more of our disposable income locally (to support local businesses and stimulate local job creation). See the attached full report below titled "East Harlem CB11 Retail Analysis".
East Harlem Business Capital Corporation (EHBCC)
EHBCC strives to ensure that local businesses and entrepreneurs participate in and benefit from East Harlem's ongoing revitalization. We provide comprehensive business development services that help home-grown businesses satisfy the needs and wants of the growing consumer market in El Barrio. These services – including loans, business training classes, and one-on-one technical assistance – help give local businesses the strength they need to compete with other commercial districts in New York City.
