CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The NDD Parklet Program is aimed at assisting small businesses. In an effort to increase pedestrian traffic and provide safe outdoor experiences that respect COVID-19 guidelines, the NDD offers both traditional wooden structures and pop-up parklets. All are are placed throughout the Downtown District on eligible streets that meet traffic safety criteria. By placing parklets in front of or near small businesses, there is an opportunity for an increase in foot traffic. All parklets are fully insured by the NDD. If conditions allow, the parklets are also furnished with shade structures.
The NDD is looking for parklet sponsors to help cover the cost of parking fees and/or safety equipment. All parklet sponsors will have their name featured on parklet signage, promoted on the NDD website and social media, and featured in a corresponding press release.
If you or your organization would like to support a downtown business through this parklet sponsorship opportunity, please email mbacke@downtownnewark.com.
