Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates

 

Dear Neighbors,

Thank you for joining us for another week in review.

This week, we celebrated the contributions of Dominicans in our beloved Borough with The Bronx Dominican Parade on the Grand Concourse and an event at Borough Hall in partnership with La Gran Parada Dominicana De El Bronx. Thank you to everyone who joined us and thank you to Felipe Febles for his commitment to the advancement of Dominicans in the Bronx and in the Dominican Republic. 

We also attended the ribbon cutting of Bridge Playground, a $2.5M investment that includes two new basketball courts, new playground equipment, swings, lighting, seating, and new fitness equipment. When I was in the New York City Council, I allocated $500,000 from my budget for the Highbridge Playground and it was beautiful to witness this park come to life.

On Sunday, we gathered for our Summer Concert Series! Every week is better than the last and I am grateful to our performers for always giving it their all. Join us next Sunday for another day of singing and dancing.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
