We host annual block festivals, promote sales, have holiday corridor lighting and our annual tree lighting ceremony. In addition to this website, we also have quarterly newsletters.
This BJTBronx web portal is an initiative of Davidson Community Center, Inc. and the NYC Department of Small Business Services Neighborhood 360° program to showcase and support the businesses in our community. Davidson Community Center is a non-profit, tax-exempt community-based organization with over 50 years of serving families and individual in the West Bronx. The Neighborhood 360° program was created by the NYC Department of Small Business Services to identify, develop, and launch commercial revitalization projects in partnership with local stakeholders. Davidson, with the support from Neighborhood 360°, works to improve, revitalize and promote the development of the Burnside, Jerome and Tremont Avenue business community and strengthen the local economic base. We achieve this through a range of effective and supportive programs that enhance area maintenance and sanitation conditions, provide business assistance and economic development supportive services, improve public safety, facilitate a beautified streetscape and aid in constituent problem-solving.
