Welcome Packet

Our role at the BID is to support your needs as a small business as best we can, from connecting you to city resources to offering free marketing and advertising for your

business, and everything in between.

 

Our BID Welcome Packet helps to introduce new business owners to our work and reacquaint existing businesses with the resources we offer.

Storefront Improvement Grant Program

Please note, all new awning and sign applications are paused. We are still accepting applications for security gate grants.

 

The Mosholu Preservation Corporation Storefront Improvement Grant program provides grant funding for small businesses to complete awning, sign, and security gate projects within the Jerome Gun Hill BID and the merchant associations that MPC serves.
