Initiatives
1
Grocery Anchored Residential Initiative
Shorewood and Bogopa Enterprises, a family-owned company that operates 38 supermarkets in the NYC metro area under the “Food Bazaar” brand, forged a strategic partnership in 2018 to help alleviate the city’s housing crisis and food deserts. Through its uses of government incentive programs such as the Fresh program, New Markets Tax Credits, residential tax abatements, and the Federal Opportunity Zone program, the partnership has successfully developed grocery anchored residential communities, with additional projects in their pipeline.
