Rahway’s Special Improvement District (SID) is pleased to highlight local businesses that help shape our local identity. Recognizing and supporting the rich, diverse make up of our neighborhood entrepreneurs, helps create a sustainable and healthy local economy. Research proves that small businesses are the backbone of any community. Statistically, main street businesses generate a greater investment back into the local neighborhoods that they serve.
