The East 204th Street and Bainbridge Avenue Merchant Association, a business group representing the long line of mom-and-pop shops along East 204th Street and Bainbridge Avenue, put their heads together for their annual meeting.
Community stakeholders, including Mosholu Preservation Corporation (publisher of the Norwood News) were on hand to lend support to the merchant group, with representatives from city agencies offering tips to keep streets clean and avoid penalties. Merchant associations are usually a precursor to a full blow business improvement district, which receives a budget for official marketing and extra sanitation services for the corridor.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
