About

In 2015, the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn commercial district was designated as an Age-friendly Neighborhood by the New York City Council and New York Academy of Medicine. This designation acknowledged the area’s many elements that make it “friendly” for older adults and helped continue programming and advocacy led by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership for local elders. This included the formation of the Myrtle Avenue Senior Advisory Council and work to ensure local businesses are accommodating senior shoppers, planning free local events and programming, and connecting seniors to resources.
