Small business empowerment has been an issue bypassed by current and past administrations. Small businesses are the life’s blood of a city, especially in difficult economic times. Small businesses are inextricably linked to the success of the City of New York. The Rogers Administration will create innovative ways to ensure that communities remain vibrant and economically viable for neighborhoods and proprietors and will see to it that those areas that have remained depressed for decades have a chance for new life. Because of that partnership between the community and City Hall, the safety, health and consumer rights of residents, as well as those that come to work in the City of New York marketplace and its tourists from the world over, must be reassured.
