With more small businesses than big box stores on Bell Boulevard, the commercial strip was the perfect destination for the head of the federal Small Business Administration (SBA) when she made the trip to New York last week.

"I'm so excited to be here in Bayside," said Maria Contreras-Sweet, administrator of SBA. "Unlike many other places, Bell Boulevard has such a high concentration of small businesses and I want to keep this area thriving."
