With an estimated 3000 or more people living and working at Jeffrey Place, there will be a substancial amount of new home owners and consumers brought into the Italian Village and Short North area that will positively impact local businesses. There will be retail and commerical businesses within Jeffrey that tailor to the needs of our residents, but one of the best features of our community is it's proximity to the shops and services within the Short North area.

Cafeful consideration is being given on what types of businesses will be located within Jeffrey Place and programs are being initiated to establish ties with the existing Short North Business Association as the community begins to grow.

It is one of National Community Builders highest priorities to augment the systems of commerce that exist in the neighborhood and to work with local business owners to form a symbiotic relationship that can benefit everyone in the community.
