They want to hear from you!
 A special district will encourage retail diversity and better promote small and independent businesses. All members of the public will be allowed to speak.
They want to hear from you! Learn more about the framework of the Public Forum here.
What should you say?
“Yes, I support a Special District in the East Village that will help protect our unique character, reduce the growth of big box stores and allow smaller local shops to have a better chance to serve or community and protect local jobs.” And tell them about your favorite local business too!
If you want to learn more about this public policy approach that has been utilized in other parts of New York City and the country, review this important report by our friends at East Village Community Coalition “Preserving Local, Independent Retail: Recommendations for Formula Retail Zoning in the East Village”.
Finally, help GVSHP honor the independent businesses in our neighborhoods. We spotlight one business each month from Greenwich Village, the East Village, or NoHo on our daily blog, "Off the Grid." You can nominate your favorite local business here.
