A proposal is being considered to allow private grocery stores negatively impacted by new city-owned grocery stores to apply for grants from the city. This plan involves using taxpayer money to fund city-run stores, which could then lead to the need for more taxpayer money to compensate the private stores for lost revenue. The senior vice president of the NYC Economic Development Corporation stated that grants and incentives are being looked at to support local independent businesses alongside the new grocery stores.

  • City-owned grocery stores are being rolled out, overseen by the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
  • A proposal under consideration would allow nearby private grocers to apply for grants to offset revenue lost to the city’s subsidized stores.
  • This approach would use taxpayer money to subsidize city stores, then use more taxpayer money to compensate private stores for damage caused.
  • Waverly Neer, a senior vice president at NYCEDC, described the city’s stores as meant to be ‘complementary’ to neighborhoods.
  • Neer confirmed that grants and incentives are being explored as potential support for other local independent businesses.
