Attractions
In the middle of the 2000’s, the City and State of New York began pouring resources into the Bushwick neighborhood through a program called the Bushwick Initiative. The program’s goal is to improve the lives of Bushwick residents through various housing and quality of life programs. In addition, many of the Bushwick Initiative’s efforts towards economic development are focused on revitalizing Knickerbocker Avenue, the primary commercial strip in the area.
