Borough President Marty Markowitz
Shop Brooklyn This Holiday Season
Friday, November 21st, 2008
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and Brooklyn elected officials, along with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation, Brooklyn Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), merchant associations and local development corporations and business owners greeted shoppers at Fulton Mall, officially launching the borough-wide “Shop Brooklyn” initiative.
“Shop Brooklyn” is an awareness campaign highlighting the uniqueness of Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and thriving shopping corridors, re-introducing Brooklyn to Brooklynites, and inviting tourists and visitors to experience this cultural and shopping destination—not just during the holidays, but year-round.
