Economic and Community Development
Our department of Economic and Community Development assists local merchants and property owners in making Port Richmond an economically vibrant community. Current major initiatives include administration of the Empire State Development Corporation Revolving Loan Program. This program provides new and start-up businesses in the Port Richmond area with loans for working capital and fixed assets.
We also provide technical assistance to individual business owners, and partner with the Port Richmond Civic Association and the Port Richmond Board of Trade to maintain and improve life for the residents and merchants. The department of economic and community development provides links for local businesses to outside resources such as government and other development programs.
