Organization Details:

Mosholu Preservation Corporation, an independent not-for-profit corporation, got its start as a buyer and renovator of decaying property, and a catalyst for reinvestment in a strengthened private market. Over the past 25 years, with help from develop- ment projects and generous benefactors, it has since grown into a multi- directional force for preservation and pride in the northwest Bronx. Its influence is felt in the improved security Norwood residents find on their shopping strips and home streets; in clean, welcoming parks that provide places to play and congregate; in an award-winning newspaper that keeps residents informed on local news and community issues; and in countless other projects that contribute to making Norwood and surrounding areas a better place to live, work, shop, go to school, and relax. Based on its esteemed history, MPC will surely be a force for betterment for many years to come.
