Garment District Growth Initiative: Empowering Local Manufacturers
Production has been significantly reduced
Consumer spending and demand has plummeted
Major brands and retailers have shuttered their
doors or moved overseas
Customer retention and acquisition have
never been more challenging
Reduced order quantities negatively impacting cash flow
Increasing operation costs and decreasing margins
A forced shift to online retailing is causing
everyone to rethink the equation
The evolving landscape poses significant financial challenges for businesses in the Garment District, calling for a strategic intervention.
The Garment District Alliance has fully funded ITAC’s Rapid Intervention Program, aims to strengthening manufacturers in NYC’s Garment District by helping them to develop solutions to address their biggest challenges.
