CHAMBER JOINS NYC SMALL BUSINESS SERVICES COMMISSIONER & NYC COUNCIL FOR JEROME & BURNSIDE AVENUE TOURS

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce team led by Chamber President Lisa Sorin and Small Business Resource Network Supervisor Darry Saldana hosted a tour of Jerome and Burnside Avenues commercial districts with Councilmember Althea Stevens. Joined by NYC Department of Small Business Services Commissioner Kevin Kim and NYC Council Small Business Services Chair Julie Menin, the afternoon focused on the needs and opportunities of this historic area that recently underwent rezoning under the Jerome Avenue Rezoning Plan.

The Jerome Avenue Neighborhood Planning Study aims to take a broad, comprehensive look at current and future community needs to identify a wide range of strategies and investments, including key land use and zoning changes, to support Jerome Avenue’s growth and vitality. This study looks at the two-mile stretch of Jerome Avenue, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods in Community District 4, 5 and 7 in the Bronx.

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce has taken active steps to work with area businesses and property owners to explore methods to strengthen the area's commercial corridors.

THE BRONX CHAMBER & NATIONAL NIGHT OUT

From Edenwald to Mott Haven, The Bronx Chamber of Commerce joined local precincts, elected officials, residents, and community organizations to foster deeper police and community relationships during the annual National Night Out. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
