The Clifton Business Association (CBA) was founded in 1985 with the purpose of promoting growth and providing a voice for merchants and professionals conducting business within the Clifton Business District (CBD).
CBA strives to be a resource of information for the CBD and works to improve and enhance the Clifton community and neighborhood. Our goal is to foster greater cooperation and collaboration amongst businesses, organizations, and individuals.
The Clifton Business District (CBD) is defined as: Brookline Avenue, Whitfield Avenue, Bryant Avenue, Dixmyth Avenue, and Ludlow Avenue.
