BUILDING RECOGNITION COCKTAIL RECEPTION
In an effort to ensure the Rockaways are not forgotten, the Chamber worked with REMA 4 US throughout the pandemic to revitalize the commercial district, organize the distribution of resources, and speak with businesses. Last month, the Chamber joined REMA 4 US, Department of Small Business Services, and St. John’s Episcopal to unveil “Shop Local” banners.
Last year the coronavirus pandemic halted our ability to host this ceremony, but it did not halt all the development within the borough. Join the Chamber for a cocktail reception at the iconic TWA hotel as we recognize and celebrate all the development in Queens in the last two years.
