2014's First West 125 Merchants Alliance (steering committee to expand the BID boundaries) Meeting was held on Tuesday, January 28th at West Harlem Development Corp.

  

Some of the businesses in attendance included: Rite Check, ECDO, Amalgamated Bank, Duane Reade, and MyTime Academy; in addition to community representatives from the NYPD 26th Precinct, L&M Development Partners, and Community Board 9. Special Guests included: NYC EDC, who provided an update on the West 125th Street Streetscape project, and the New York Chamber of Commerce, who expressed interest in working with the group to help businesses in Harlem connect with other businesses in the City.
