Past 52nd Street Projects

The Enterprise Center manages the Walnut Hill Community Farm and the Max Paul Park at 4610 Market Street, next to the 46th Street El station. The space is open for the public to sit on the benches, eat a meal at our picnic tables, or just walk through and enjoy the park and farm.

The Enterprise Center hired a consultant team, led by local consultant JVM Studio, to analyze the 52nd commercial corridor streetscape (from Arch Street to Pine Street) and recommend improvements to make this stretch of 52nd Street safer, easier to use, and a more vibrant space to shop and do business. This project is just one component of The Enterprise Center’s larger efforts to revitalize 52nd Street, in collaboration with businesses, residents, city agencies, and other key stakeholders. The Enterprise Center greatly values stakeholder input in all of its community development work in West...

In the fall of 2020, The Enterprise Center held a street pole banner design contest. Local artists were invited to submit concepts to bring new branding vibrancy to 52nd Street and celebrate the area’s culture.

The Buy Black movement has never had more momentum, and it resonates with The Enterprise Center's core mission as a nonprofit that supports and empowers entrepreneurs. With that in my mind, and with the longstanding history of black entrepreneurship on 52nd Street and the heightened focus on 52nd Street revitalization, we present #BuyBlack #52ndStreet.
