Via nycdoitt:

After the success of last year’s Reinvent Payphones Design Challenge, the City released a formal request for proposals (RFP) for citywide WiFi and state-of-the-art information hubs. The RFP aims to replace the existing payphone infrastructure with highly functional, visually-attractive 21st century “public communication points” which will offer a range of public benefits including a seamless WiFi network in the city’s highest-density areas. Responses to the RFP are due this summer and a new franchise owner will be selected and approved in late 2014.

The Immigrant Business Initiative will include a community-based marketing campaign to raise awareness of free services available to help immigrant-owned businesses start, operate, and grow.

In celebration of Small Business Week, NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer, in partnership with Citi, today announced the Immigrant Business Initiative, a new initiative funded by a $250,000 contribution from Citi Community Development, that will work with Community Based Organizations to find and execute solutions to help immigrant-owned businesses start, operate, and grow. Nisha Agarwal, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (nycimmigrants), and Bob Annibale, Global Director of Citi Community Development and Microfinance, joined as well.

This summer, through the Immigrant Business Initiative, SBS will solicit ideas from Community Based Organizations across the five boroughs, and choose up to five proposals for new city services to help immigrant-owned businesses. The Immigrant Business Initiative will also fund the design and execution of business services in five languages – Chinese, Russian, Haitian-Creole, Spanish, and Korean. These services will include business education courses and one-on-one counseling, as well as other solutions identified by the five community partners. The Initiative also creates a community-based marketing campaign to raise awareness of free services available to help immigrant-owned businesses start, operate, and grow. Services are expected to be available this fall.
