Welcome to Chinatown, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Manhattan’s vibrant Chinatown community, has embarked on an ambitious endeavor this month with the commencement of demolition and construction on its Small Business Innovation Hub. Situated at 115 Bowery, this innovative space represents a pioneering initiative aimed at empowering small businesses, fostering connections, and promoting sustainable development.
State Senator Brian Kavanagh, who represents Chinatown, said, “The announcement that Welcome to Chinatown has begun construction on its Small Business Innovation Hub at 115 Bowery is great news for Chinatown. Small businesses in Chinatown, many of which were disproportionately impacted by the effects of Covid-19, will soon have a place they can gather to obtain and provide resources, develop partnerships, and share best practices.
The capital needed for this ambitious project was secured through a successful fundraising campaign, with partners such as Empire State Development, Jefferies, Panda Restaurant Group, and Amazon contributing to reach the $785,000 goal. These funds will be instrumental in realizing the vision of the Hub and enhancing Welcome to Chinatown’s ability to serve the community effectively.
