The Red Hook Business Alliance (RHBA) started meeting in 2019, had a bit of a lull the first two years of the pandemic as it focused on planning it's own growth, and became visibly active in late 2022 to early 2023.

Activities include policy advocacy, promoting Red Hook, creating community events, maintaining calendars for event and community meetings. 

From the RHBA website (in italics):

• on the Events calendar you’ll find music, classes, art openings — fun for all.

• on the Community calendar you’ll find public meetings, library offerings, and other programs intended for the Red Hook community

Those calendars are here.

RHBA represents businesses of all types (retail and industrial) and sizes, freelancers, and nonprofits. This diversity distinguises it from South Brooklyn Industrial Development Corporation (SBIDC) which no longer has a Red Hook office but does represent Red Hook industrial business. 

Red Hook tried to organize businesses some five times before RHBA, but focusing on retail only. None of those efforts survived as long as RHBA has as of August 2024, despite the stress of the pandemic.

PortSide was an RHBA member as of the 2019  startup and left in February 2024.
