      Council Member Feliz inquires about SBS's process for identifying and mobilizing local cultural resources to support small businesses. Haris Khan explains that SBS has a dedicated division of neighborhood development with 27 employees focused on economic development at the local level. They don't see clear lines of separation between art installations, cultural work, and community vibrancy in their efforts to revitalize commercial corridors.

      • SBS has a division of neighborhood development led by Deputy Commissioner Calvin Brown
      • The team of 27 employees works on economic development at the local neighborhood level
      • Calvin Brown adds that the Commercial District Needs Assessment (CDNA) process includes identifying arts and cultural institutions that can support local work
