celebration and resource fair
| |
The May 6, 2022 celebration of the "National Small Business Week" in Morris Park Little Yemen co-hosted by Morris Park BID was a great success! We are very thankful for the partnership of the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) along with YAMA, AYAB, BOEDC, that came together to highlight the success of our small businesses. With the theme “Around the World in NYC,” Morris Park was chosen as the Bronx host of this five boroughs series of events. We were honored to welcome the NYC Mayor Eric Adams to our community! Celebrations included remarks, entertainment, the SBS Mobile Unit, and a resource fair with information from community partners and City agencies including: SBS, DOB, DCWP, CCHR, MOIA, DSNY, DOHMH, HRA, NYPD, FDNY, DEP. Thank you to all that made the event possible, including MPBID Board Director Sal Alghati, that was the small business owner featured at the event. | |
