STATEN ISLAND, NY, UNITED STATES, January 24, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The South Shore Business Improvement District (BID) has announced a new campaign in response to the MTV Series Made In Staten Island, which has received backlash from a large number of borough residents.

“Our borough is filled with outstanding leaders and a tremendous number of successful businesses,” said Gary Fleming, President of The South Shore BID. “Let’s turn a negative into a positive and showcase what Staten Island truly has to offer by highlighting these individuals and business owners.”
