Business Description
The mission of the Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) is to foster and promote the growth and vitality of its local business community and strengthen its local economic base. We achieve this through a range of effective programs that enhance area maintenance and sanitation conditions, provide business assistance and development services, improve security, facilitate a beautified streetscape and aid in constituent problem-solving; while showcasing the business area’s assets through innovative marketing and promotion techniques. These services are provided in a cost-efficient and effective manner by the BID and are enhanced by its strong working partnerships with public agencies, elected officials and local organizations within the context of its neighboring communities. <br>The BID extends from Third Avenue to Jerome Avenue along Fordham Road and also includes the commercial areas on select side streets. The district is comprised of approximately 80 buildings and almost 300 businesses ranging from nationwide chains to locally owned independent shops.
