Special Improvement District Borough Of Redbank Inc

Business Recruitment and Retention:RiverCenter focused our business recruitment and retention efforts on programs that kept our business district competitive with other nearby shopping centers, strip malls, and downtowns. We met with several prospective new business owners and introduced them to landlords and brokers who showed them potential spaces where they could site their businesses. We attended Planning and Zoning Board hearings to support applications for new businesses and mixed-use properties that would bring in more foot traffic for our current businesses. We also spotlighted new businesses by promoting them through our social media and our digital communications channels and by helping them mount successful ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
