Neighborhood Restaurant Initiative

The Neighborhood Restaurant Initiative is part of the Office of Business Development's ongoing efforts to support the revitalization of the city's commercial districts. This is the fifth year of an initiative that is designed to provide more neighborhood retail services and create jobs, thus expanding opportunities for entrepreneurs and residents. The initiative provides a menu of resources ranging from business instruction to assistance with licensing and permitting, to marketing and design, and also includes a financing option.
