SMALL BUSINESS SECURITY INITIATIVE LAUNCHED

Supporting Bodegas and Corner Stores - Small Business Security Initiative

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce joined NYS Assemblymember Amanda Septimo, Dr. Meisha Porter of The Bronx Community Foundation, Francisco Marte of the NYS Bodega Association, the Association of Yemeni American Businesses, YAMA, and the NYS Supermarket Association to launch a $1 million pilot program to strengthen security and public safety among bodegas in The Bronx, Washington Heights, and East Harlem.

The initiative will support installation of panic buttons, enhanced camera equipment, upgraded Point of Sale systems, and deeper communication with violence interrupters and law enforcement. This pilot program hopes to be expanded Citywide and is part of a cohesive policy and funding program to support small businesses.

Grant applications for the program go live on June 1st and will be available through the Assemblymember's office or by visiting The Bronx Community Foundation.
