Fordham Road BID

The Fordham Road BID is a non-profit corporation under contract with the City of New York to provide supplementary services to the community. The BID focuses on sanitation, beautification, promotion and overall advocacy of the Fordham Road area – striving to make the district a more attractive and dynamic locale in which to shop, work and visit. The BID boundaries extend from Third to Jerome Avenues along East 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.

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.

The BID is involved in the Shop for Public Schools promotion this year to enroll Fordham Road businesses in this great program to raise funds for libraries in the City’s public schools. The BID is matching all contributions up to $200 per participating BID store.
