COVID-19 RESOURCE
[Last updated 3/29/2020]
The 125th Street BID will be providing the latest information from City, State, and Federal authorities regarding the COVID-19 Outbreak on this page. We will ensure that our commercial district of 125th Street receives up-to-date information on health precautions and resources from other business development organizations. Business Activity has basically come to a halt as we know it due to the impacts of Coronavirus. Business owners that we speak to are facing operational and revenue generating challenges while at the same time being in compliance with the Essential Business Executive Order. This update provides resource information we have received that may be helpful.
