2 Port Washington Delis Receive Grants

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — Two Port Washington delis received grants from The Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District (BID) this week, the BID announced.

A $5,000 Façade Rehabilitation Grant was issued to Harbor Deli, which is located at 306 Main St. The purpose of the Façade Rehabilitation Grant Program is to provide assistance to property owners and businesses within the district that are interested in the rehabilitation of the exteriors of their buildings.

Harbor Deli Too, located at 35 Old Shore Road, received a $2,000 New Tenant Bonus Grant. The purpose of the New Tenant Bonus Program is to allow the BID to help kickstart a business within its district.

"The façade grant money awarded to Harbor Deli was used for their new sky-blue aluminum letters, and the new tenant grant money awarded to Harbor Deli Too was used to help offset the expense for interior painting and purchasing of new furniture" stated Harry DeFeo, owner of Harbor Deli & Harbor Deli Too via press release.

Mariann Dalimonte, executive director of the BID, stated "Our organization is very thankful to Harry and Diane DeFeo for wanting to enhance the façade at Harbor Deli and for taking over an empty storefront on Shore Road for Harbor Deli Too."
