On Saturday, December 14, JP Centre/South Main Streets hosted a visit from Natalia Urturbey – Director of Small Business Development, Chris Osgood – Chief of the Streets, Transportation & Sanitation, and Sebastian Zapata – Deputy Director of State Relations (and leading work for the 2020 Census in Boston). This visit was part of their 20 Districts in 20 Days campaign.
A crew of JP Centre/South Main Streets board members escorted the visitors to several businesses in the district, including:
- ShopRose JP
- JPizle Kitchen
- Blue Frog Bakery
- Papercuts JP
- Boing! Toy Shop
- City Feed & Supply
- On Centre
- Sweet Rice Thai Kitchen + Sushi Bar
- Monumental Market
- Cloud 9 Float & Wellness.
The 20 Districts in 20 Days campaign is part of a city-wide initiative to encourage holiday shopping at local stores. “When you shop local, you create jobs, promote community development, and support your local economy.” There are 20 Main Streets districts throughout Boston that support their local business districts with programming, technical assistance, and more, but the lifeblood of our city’s locally-owned small businesses is the shopping dollars of our residents.
