Fulton Street Holiday Lighting
To get shoppers in a festive mood for the winter holiday season, FNUMA sponsors the installation of festive lighting along the Fulton Street corridor.

Business District Physical Improvements
FNUMA advocates for improved city services in the Fulton Street-Nostrand Avenue business district.

Unless otherwise announced, general meetings of the members of FNUMA take place every fourth Wednesday of the month at 1368 Fulton Street. At these meetings, a featured presenter will discuss a topic of interest to small business owners, whether it be securing your business against crime, a meeting with the Department of Sanitation or how to get a small business loan.
