BRONX CENTRAL COUNCIL FOR
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
(B.C.C.E.D.)

The Mission of the Bronx Central Council (the "Council") is to encourage and facilitate a dialogue between the diverse Bronx business communities, and its residents, that leads to community and economic empowerment. The Council firmly believes that small businesses are the foundation of economic stability in their communities. As such, the Council provides the framework and support mechanism for community and economic empowerment through advice, technical and financial assistance, development of targeted community projects, and production of community events. The fusion of small businesses and communities, coupled with guidance by the Council, will lead to the economic empowerment of the Bronx communities it serves.
