Dear Neighbors,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
This week, we celebrated with our Dominican community for the 40th Annual National Dominican Day Parade. It was incredible! The weather was on our side and the energy was amazing. Thank you to everyone who joined us! We hope to see you again next year.
We also gathered for our Summer Concert Series that has been a huge success this summer with performers from all over giving their all on stage! We hope you will join us next Sunday for more singing and entertainment.
On Saturday, we joined with the Department of Sanitation during their Second Annual Bronx Clean Up Series on Castle Hill Avenue. Every Bronxite deserves a clean street and we are committed to beautifying our neighborhoods for our friends, families and children to enjoy.
Lastly, as Monkeypox numbers continue to rise, we ask that everyone take necessary precautions and get vaccinated. For vaccination appointments at one of the Bronx’s vaccination sites, please click here. If you experience Monkeypox symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.
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
 One of the goals of our administration is to advocate for investment into our borough. Last week,I joined with Senator Chuck Schumer and my colleagues in government to advocate for city, state and federal funding to go towards the Hunt’s Point Food Market.
The Hunt’s Point Food Market provides 25% of New York City’s produce.
Currently, the Hunt’s Point Food Market is home to over 30 merchants and employs over 8,000 New Yorkers and its redevelopment will support new, good-paying jobs that will offset the mounting cost of living in our city.
The Hunt’s Point Food Market is also a vital part of our city’s restaurant industry, providing fresh produce to approximately 23,000 restaurants and 2,500 green grocers.
