Storefront Resurgence Project

Overview
The Storefront Resurgence Project is designed to drive foot traffic to commercial corridors throughout Manhattan, reduce prolonged storefront vacancies, and support the emergence of a next generation of local “brick-and-mortar” businesses that are innovative and will help New York City attract and retain residents, workers and tourists alike.
Led by the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and its nonprofit foundation, the Storefront Resurgence Project is working to bring much-needed stability to Manhattan’s 30,000+ existing storefront businesses and help to put the storefront businesses of tomorrow on a path to success. These efforts will generate immense economic multipliers for local communities and the city as a whole.
Components of this initiative are supported by Wells Fargo, the Association for a Better New York (ABNY), and Community Project Funding secured by former Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney and US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand which is administered by the US Small Business Administration. Additional funding for outreach and technical assistance is provided by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the New York City Council which is being administered by the New York City Small Business Services Department.
