Mission Statement for the Athenia Business Association

The purpose of the Athenia Business Association is to help bring

awareness and support to the Athenia business district in Clifton, and to maintain good communications with our city council so Athenia can continue to prosper. The ABA wants to bring new life and new business to the Van Houten Avenue Athenia section of Clifton, while assisting existing merchants.

The Athenia Business Association works very close with the city council members to help find ways to improve and enhance the quality of our business district and its surroundings.

Yearly events are held to bring pride and exposure to the district, and to get community involved; i.e., Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Tree Lighting; Street Fair. Holiday decorations are also provided for the main street in Athenia (Van Houten Avenue).

Efforts are made to have the community support their local merchants, so that businesses will keep thriving. Give back to the community is the motto of the ABA.

All monies are put right back into annual events and holiday decorations.
