Pratt Institute and the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership recently announced a collaboration to expand the reach of PrattCard, Pratt's student and faculty identification card, to businesses on the Myrtle Avenue commercial corridor at the start of the Fall 2009 semester. Once in place, Pratt students, faculty, and staff will be able to put a cash balance on their cards similar to a debit card that can be used to shop or dine at participating Myrtle Avenue businesses.
