While Ira Berne’s development of Westbury Square was successful in bringing the communities together by providing a series of courtyards for small businesses to grow, the opening of the Galleria in 1970 led to a decline in popularity. This shift left the community with a void in its central area and a loss of identity, leaving questions of what the center of the neighborhood wants to be. The Food Culture Incubator aims to revitalize the site, acting as a civic center and addressing a lack of food variety and availability in the area.
