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

 

Dear Neighbor,

 

Thank you for joining us for another week in review. 


We hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!


Our team had a great time at the West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn on Monday. Our Caribbean and West Indian Community have contributed so much to our city, and it was an honor to join with members of the Bronx Delegation to celebrate them!

 

As we prepare for a heatwave and the hottest day of the year, we encourage everyone to limit outdoor activity wherever possible. To find a cooling center near you, please click here.


We also want to wish all of our students, teachers, principals, and school faculty a happy new school year! We know our children are in good hands and we wish you all the best in this next chapter.


Lastly, Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced two neighborhood revitalization programs: the Downtown Revitalization Initiative and New York Forward Program. Both programs are reimbursement grants that cover the costs of capital projects like public art installation, storefront improvement, community Wi-Fi and more. For more information about the program and how to apply, click here. The application deadline is September 8th.

 

As always, 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
