How We’re Growing The Local Economy
We have played a key role in the revitalization of Fulton Street, a major commercial corridor in Brooklyn. IMPACT Brooklyn’s expert counseling provides business owners, entrepreneurs and property owners with information, mediation and resources needed to start and/or operate a successful business on any commercial corridor in Brooklyn.
Frequently asked questions about economic corridor initiatives
Our economic development efforts help local businesses band together in order to improve commercial areas and obtain government funding to assist them.
Revitalizing the Fulton Street commercial corridor by facilitating private/public partnership will bring $250,000 into the area for facades, storefronts, apartment units, and streetscape improvements.
Our Roll Up the Gates program will bring new businesses to vacant storefronts. We do this by:
- Bringing financial institutions and small business services into the community to work with local business owners.
- Building alliances among local Merchants Associations, elected officials and community organizations in Central Brooklyn.

“IMPACCT’s program gave me a bit of foresight about what to expect and what to prepare. Without that, it would have been a bit more tenuous because I was going through the homebuying process for the first time.”
