Firstly, confirm the licence is OK. In addition, the data is from 2014 (right?), are you sure there haven't been a lot of changes since then?
I looked at the data in JOSM, It's about ~250,000 points, so this could be a useful resource. I don't know US culture, but I think SNAP is a type of social welfare from the state, right? It would be nice to be able to tag this service in OSM somehow. However, I looked at a randomn 20 points, with ESRI Clarity imagery and the position is all in the middle of roads, not on builds or other things that look like shops. So just uploading the 250k points to OSM is not possible. It would result in many OSM nodes that are in the wrong place. Rather than bulk uploading this CSV file, perhaps there's a way you couild try to semi-manually merge in to OSM, or to use it to detect missing data?
