SPRING STROLLS IN THE FAB DISTRICT
It’s FAB when our local officials visit the business district and engage small businesses, and that’s exactly what NYC Small Business Commissioner Kevin Kim and District 35 Council Member Crystal Hudson did last month! Touching down in Fort Greene, the two of them joined FAB FULTON Executive Director Christina Chavez for quick check-ins at various businesses and to share how the city is addressing the reduction of fines, violations, and citations through the new Small Business Forward plan. The Executive Order signed by Mayor Adams at the top of the year is aimed at reforms to cut red tape and reduce burdensome regulations to save NYC’s small businesses approximately $8.9 million.

SUNDAY LIBATIONS
Last month, the New York State Senate passed the “Boozy Brunch Bill,” which would allow wine and liquor stores to open even earlier on Sundays. Most merchants open at noon on Sunday; this bill would allow sales as early as 10 am.
