Bedford Avenue
Bedford Avenue has a lot to offer and new businesses are popping up all the time. We are working with local brokers and property owners to bring much-needed retailers to the street. For more information, click here.

Tompkins Avenue
Tompkins Avenue is a charming, tree-lined street that is poised for great things. The Tompkins Avenue Merchants Association holds TAMAFest, a street fair, every summer as well as other events. To read one of the studies done about Tompkins, see Tompkins Retail Scan – LISC Metro Edge.

Malcolm X Boulevard
Malcolm X Boulevard has the potential to be a vital commercial corridor in Bed-Stuy. With Fulton Plaza and the Utica Avenue Subway Station at one end, thousands of pedestrians flood this area every day. However, few people venture up Malcolm X to shop for their daily needs. We are focusing on creating a commercial destination to draw people from inside and outside of the community. View some of the work that has been done to study Malcolm X over the past few years:
