Scissura: Brooklyn Businesses Rebuild Together
BY CARLO SCISSURA
Hurricane Sandy left an unprecedented trail of death and destruction across our great city and borough. While the storm may have destroyed scores of homes and businesses in Brooklyn, the aftermath has been one filled with hope and renewal. Brooklynites are tough. It is times like this that brings out the very best in us.
In the immediate aftermath of this disaster, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce wasted no time reaching out to businesses in the affected areas. I and my staff called and visited businesses located in the hardest hit neighborhoods – DUMBO, Red Hook, Williamsburg, the Navy Yard, Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Gerritsen Beach, and Sheepshead Bay – to inform them that the Chamber and its resources are here for them.
