The 82nd Street Partnership is a not-for-profit neighborhood development organization based in Jackson Heights, Queens, founded in 1990. It manages and promotes a four-block business improvement district that encompasses around 44 properties, a triangle plaza, and roughly 200 local businesses, with governance by a board of property owners, tenants, government officials, and community leaders. Its work focuses on improving quality of life and supporting business growth through local economic development programs such as marketing, placemaking, streetscape enhancements, sanitation support, and advocacy, aiming to create a cleaner, more welcoming, and more sustainable neighborhood. A notable recent development includes a partnership with Queens Council on the Arts to sponsor an inaugural public art program, ArtSite, illustrating collaboration with cultural organizations to enhance the district’s public spaces.
