We are
the Kingston Midtown Business Association. We represent Kingston's Midtown area, which follows Broadway from Albany Avenue to the intersection of Broadway and McIntee Street. We actively promote the interests of our members' businesses and institutions. Here are some of the projects and commitments that we are working on right now:
- Facade design guidelines for Broadway
- Administration of Facade Improvement grant funds from the Community Development Block Grant.
- With the Rural Ulster Preservation Co., we have been awarded a New York Main Street grant, to revitalize up to 15 buildings along the Broadway corridor. Apply here.
- We meet regularly with the Mayor, the Police and Fire Chiefs, and other City officials to present concerns of Midtown business owners.
- We maintain contact with the owners of the Broadmoor apartments and the Kings Inn, and are encouraging them to take better care of their buildings.
- We are in touch with Common Council members Shirley Whitlock, Annmarie DiBella, Tom Hoffay, and Mike Madsen so we can join forces to improve the area.

Here are some actions we have taken to support business development in our community:
- We have successfully lobbied City Hall for a street cleaner for Broadway, and for a large, well-lit new parking lot on Field Court.
- We have designed a door decal for KMBA members.
- Most importantly, we have begun holding regular meetings of this once-defunct business group, which now has a mail/email list of nearly 100 individuals and organizations.
