State Senator Gustavo Rivera presented the New York State Senate Empire Award to the Bronx Optical Center in Morris Heights. Jessica Betancourt, CEO of Bronx Optical Center, accepted this prestigious award on behalf of the center.


“I’m very glad to honor the Bronx Optical Center with the New York State Senate Empire Award and to present it to Jessica Betancourt, co-founder and CEO of this business. Jessica has a big heart and a passion for serving her community,” said Senator Rivera. “I’m incredibly proud to award this to a local business in my district whose owner uses her experience and platform to organize other business owners to improve the neighborhood.”


Established in 2019, the Bronx Optical Center strives to provide exceptional customer service and patient care, meeting the vision care needs of the Morris Heights community. Jessica Betancourt, the CEO, is also the co-founder and president of the Burnside Jerome Tremont Merchant Association, where she collaborates with various organizations to give back to the community through back-to-school drives and free eye care appointments. The Bronx Optical Center opened up a second location in April of this year, called the New York Optical Center, located at 1 East Kingsbridge Road. 


“I’m happy and honored to receive this award. It means so much to me, and we will continue to make a difference in our community. Thank you, Senator, for your ongoing support. This is my first location; we have two now, and we will keep growing with the support of the community,” said Jessica Betancourt, co-founder and CEO of the Bronx Optical Center.


Senator Rivera honors local businesses with the New York State Senate Empire Award for demonstrating exemplary service to customers and the community in business districts and commercial corridors across his district.
