Helping these businesses access capacity-building resources ultimately means more jobs for their communities.

Sandy One Year Later: Rockaway Merchants Form Strong Bond As Customers Return

Sandy shutdown an important business corridor in Rockaway Park a year ago. One year later, almost all of the businesses on Beach 116th Street have reopened with some help from the government and their “can-do” attitudes.

"What has happened here on Beach 116th Street my hope is it can be replicated time and time again in many other neighborhoods," said Department of Small Business Services Commissioner Robert Walsh.
