The BMA is an organization located in Harlem's Bradhurst District. This effort was initiated for business to business networking and relations purposes. As business owners, it is important to become familiar with our business community owners, provide support in promoting the Bradhurst area, and its businesses, as well as to reach out to new perspective members and/or business people who are interested in opening businesses in the area. As we continue to grow and cultivate the area, the organization is expanding its efforts to provide residents/consumers with unmet services needed within the community Over 40 million dollars leaves the Bradhurst District and spent elsewhere. The BMA would like to see those funds stay in the community to help sustain employment and pototntial retailers supplying the areas with necessary goods and services
