The new retailing czar, Michelle Mooney, will assist neighborhood organizations in their efforts to attract and retain a diversity of businesses that serve local residents. Focusing attention on the boroughs outside Manhattan, Ms. Mooney will also oversee two programs already in existence: improving storefronts and helping neighborhoods create retail identities to attract shoppers. Before taking the job with New York City, which pays $73,000 a year, Ms. Mooney, who says she is in her mid-30's, worked as the leasing officer for the Port of Long Beach in California, which bills itself as the second-largest seaport in the United States.
