SBS supports neighborhood organizations with their neighborhood retail leasing efforts. The SBS Neighborhood Retail Leasing Program is part of an eight-month pilot program that provides four neighborhoods with targeted technical assistance to help identify the range of retailers that can be supported by their local markets. The neighborhoods also receive in-depth market and demographic analysis, a district-wide retail leasing plan, district marketing materials and a set of pre-qualified prospects to begin their marketing outreach. The Program also includes training in retail attraction available to all of the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) -eligible communities. Through this effort, SBS provides these groups with both the knowledge and the practical tools necessary to improve and manage their district’s business mix.
