      The Department of Small Business Services (SBS) coordinates with other city agencies like the Department of Transportation (DOT) to address issues contributing to commercial vacancy rates.

      • When commercial districts conduct needs assessments, they identify challenges like public realm issues
      • If the challenges fall under another agency's purview like DOT, SBS engages that agency
      • SBS takes a localized approach by understanding the specific problems in each neighborhood
      • SBS then works with local partners and the relevant agencies to address the identified issues
