Your Connection to the Project Starts Here
ABOUT
The proposed Bally’s Bronx integrated resort at Ferry Point represents one of the most significant economic development opportunities in our borough’s recent history—bringing with it jobs, contracts, and long-term business growth.
At The New Bronx Chamber of Commerce, we are committed to ensuring that Bronx-based businesses are not just aware of this opportunity—but positioned to participate in it.
We are actively working to connect our members to the right partners, resources, and certifications needed to compete and succeed as this project moves forward.
Your Connection to the Project Starts Here
Large-scale developments like Bally’s require a wide range of vendors, subcontractors, and service providers—from construction and logistics to hospitality, marketing, and ongoing operations.
Our role is simple:
Make sure Bronx businesses have a seat at the table.
Through our relationships with project stakeholders and partners, we are:
- Sharing early information and updates with our network
- Connecting businesses to procurement opportunities
- Preparing companies to meet eligibility and compliance requirements
- Connecting businesses to potential funding and capital resources needed to pursue and fulfill contracts
- Advocating for meaningful inclusion of Bronx-based businesses
Whether you are already established or looking to grow into new opportunities, we are here to help you navigate the process.
MWBE Certification:
A Key to Unlocking Opportunity
Many contracts tied to major developments like Bally’s prioritize or require New York State MWBE (Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise) certification.
If your business is not yet certified, you could be missing out on valuable opportunities.
The Bronx Chamber supports businesses through:
- Understanding MWBE eligibility requirements
- Navigating the application process
- Strengthening your documentation and positioning
- Connecting you to additional certification resources
For our members, this support is hands-on and ongoing—because we don’t just want you certified, we want you competitive.
Access to Capital & Contract Readiness
To support small and local business participation in the Bally’s Bronx development, there are state-supported programs that provide funding, resources, and technical assistance to businesses awarded contracts.
These programs are designed to ensure that businesses—especially MWBEs—have the capacity to successfully take on and complete project work.
The Bronx Chamber helps businesses:
- Navigate available funding and support programs
- Understand eligibility and application requirements
- Position themselves to qualify and compete
- Access the right resources to successfully deliver on contracts
We don’t just connect you to opportunity—we help you prepare for it and succeed.
