The Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco) is a community development nonprofit organization based in the South Bronx. WHEDco is partnering with the NYC Department of Small Business Services to evaluate the needs of Southern Boulevard businesses, shoppers, residents, and those who work along the corridor.

We are conducting this survey to learn more about the merchants and businesses in the Southern Boulevard Commercial Area (including Boston Rd, 174th St, Louis Niñé Blvd, and Westchester Ave).

This survey will help us understand the needs of the commercial corridors in order to better serve business owners and residents in the area.

If you have any questions, please contact econdev@whedco.org or 718.839.1197. To learn more about WHEDco and our commercial revitalization work, please visit whedco.org/retail.

Thank you for your participation!
