STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The New York Small Business Development Center (NYSBDC) held its 2024 Client Awards Roadshow on Staten Island last month, recognizing the achievements of small business clients from across New York state.
Mark Adeniji, a Marine Corps veteran and the owner of A Final Touch Construction Inc. in Brooklyn, was honored with the coveted Veteran Entrepreneur of the Year Award, a recognition that celebrates the commitment to advancing business opportunities for veterans.
Adeniji was then honored with recognition awards from State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D-North Shore/Southern Brooklyn), Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) and Assemblymember Sam Pirozzolo (R-Mid-Island). In a particularly touching moment, Smith presented Adeniji with an American Flag that had flown over the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
