The Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District is doing what it can to support local businesses. 
Using grant money, the BID created the Focus on Fifth program and hired CM Brand founder Christine Medina to work with business owners.
It is a Google course that teaches them everything from social media to digital marketing, Google ads, websites and so much more.
They're also getting one-on-one support from Medina too. Owner of 'My Natural Pet,' Margo Tortorelis, is currently working with Medina to launch her new subscription boxes.
She says the BID has always been an invaluable resource and she's grateful to get so much support during this difficult time. 
She looks forward to participating in the Google course that comes out next month.
