A History of Success
In 1999, we began our work in attracting newer businesses to the Myrtle Avenue retail corridor. Just 3 years later, positive movement was noticeable in the district’s commercial vacancy rate, resulting in the City awarding the organization a Neighborhood Achievement Award for its business attraction efforts. Since beginning our work on Myrtle Avenue, we’ve seen the commercial vacancy rate drop from over 20% down to a low of 5%.
