Paterson  Black Business Association

The City of Paterson is the 3rd largest city in the state of New Jersey with a population of more than 170,000 residents. Its rich history finds itself at the center of the Industrialization of America, including its victories, accomplishments, as well as, its early shortfalls in human equity and inclusion.  While Black Businesses have seen a slight up tick in numbers across the country, growth in most urban centers still lags behind many of its business neighbors. The Paterson Black Business Association is dedicated to increase activity towards building a stronger Black Business Community in Paterson by providing Business Education, Access to Resources and Youth Development.
