Zoning Incentives for Supermarkets: New York Expands its FRESH Program
The FRESH program, previously offering zoning incentives for grocery store development in 19 districts around New York City, will expand to 11 new locations. May 20, 2021, 5am PDT | James Brasuell |
New York City Planning Commission (CPC) Chair Marisa Lago yesterday announced the expansion of the Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (FRESH) program, which is designed to bring convenient, accessible grocery stores to underserved New York neighborhoods.
The FRESH program was created in 2009, offering property owners zoning incentives for providing including space for supermarkets in new developments located in mixed residential and commercial districts. The program also allows grocery stores as-of-right in light manufacturing districts, increasing the locations where they can be built, according to a New York Department of City Planning press release.
