Speaker Menin Announces Security Funding for Small Businesses
She announces funding for panic buttons and security cameras for small businesses, building on efforts with Attorney General Tish James to curb retail theft.
Speaking of essential assistance, today we also announced that we're furthering support for small businesses through funding that will be used to install panic buttons and security cameras for small businesses.
This is building on joint efforts of both the council and Attorney General Tish James to curb retail theft because employees must be safe and feel safe when they are at work.
As the city develops a permanent security program for small retail businesses under Local Law 120, this initiative comes in advance of its implementation.
Certainly protecting public safety and strengthening economic vibrancy come hand in hand, and we are so excited to make progress on both of those priorities.
