Friends of Church Ave

The Friends of Church Ave group met tonight w a number of prospective business owners as well as some locals w established businesses. There were 20 people who attended and the meeting though maybe lacking a clear focus got a lot of good people together. We were also treated to some great info that one of the members compiled with local spaces for rent as well as an analysis of commercial rent costs. We were surprised to hear Church Ave rents were in line w more southern spots of 5th Ave. Actually rents on Church Ave it seems are 1/2 to 1/3rd less then prime 5th and 7th Ave. The advantage to a location on Church and Fort Hamilton or even Ditmas Ave no competition....
