Press Release 11/15/13 PERTH AMBOY – Mayor Wilda Diaz is pleased to announce that the Perth Amboy Business Improvement District (BID) joins “Shop Small Business Saturday” scheduled for Nov. 30 to help promote our local commercial business districts.
“Thousands of Americans support and value small business community. The businesses located in our downtown provide unique products, service and personal attention exclusive to their customers. They contribute greatly to the residents and development of our City,” said Mayor Wilda Diaz. “We encourage our residents and visitors to support our local business on November 30th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving– shop, dine and experience Perth Amboy,” added Mayor Diaz.

Let’s support our businesses and shop locally,” stated Barry Rosengarten, Chairman of the Perth Amboy Business Improvement District.
