Bloomberg’s State of the City Speech Contains Only a Few Pledges of Help for NYC Small Businesses

by Fred Abramson on January 21, 2010

Mayor Bloomberg outlined his agenda for helping NYC small businesses in his State of the City speech on Wednesday January 19, 2010.  Unfortunately, it looks like there are only three.

  • He promised to steamline the City’s application process for restaurants and bars;
  • Expand a job program to help immigrants;
  • Help Haitians to apply for temporary protected status so they can find legal employment here.

Looks like small businesses are going to have go it alone for 2010 without much new help from the city.
