🌍⚽ The World Cup is over, but Queens' small business moment is just getting started.

Our President & CEO Thomas Grech teamed up with Maya Kurien (Main Street Wisdom / Celebrate In Queens) to break down why the borough's economic momentum can't stop at the final whistle. From Jackson Heights to Flushing, Queens restaurants and small businesses showed the world what "The World's Borough" really means — and with the US Open just weeks away, Mets season in full swing, and Etihad Park on the horizon in Willets Point, the opportunities keep coming.

Every ticket should turn into a customer. Every game should turn into a reason to explore a new neighborhood. 🏟️🍽️

Read the full op-ed and let's keep showing up for the small businesses that make Queens the best borough in the city:

A word. 👇

[Asian American Federation @AAFederation]
