Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
Last week, we were proud to host our second State of the Borough address at Cardinal Hayes High School, where we outlined our vision for how we move the borough forward. We highlighted significant investments in education and healthcare and announced support for a Bronx Opioid Center, funding for public safety measures, a $2 million commitment from our office to help reimagine the Kingsbridge Armory, the opening of the first-ever Bronx STEAM Center with a focus on healthcare, life sciences, and analytical research, and other initiatives to support our communities. We want to thank everyone who attended and played a vital role in making this event a huge success!
Our borough is the blueprint for perseverance and resiliency and we will continue to focus on the priorities that unite us and make our communities stronger.
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
IN THE COMMUNITY
We stood in solidarity with advocates, community partners, city agencies, and survivors at the Annual Bronx Denim Day march at Bronx Borough Hall to amplify the voices of those impacted by sexual assault and sexual violence. Thank you to everyone who joined us to raise awareness about this important issue in our communities.
The Bronx Zoo is one of our premier cultural institutions in the Bronx and we are proud to celebrate its 125th anniversary!
The zoo is an opportunity for our youth and families to engage in exploratory learning and explore over 265 acres dedicated to over 6,000 species of wildlife.
We are so grateful for their partnership and commitment to supporting our communities.
The Bronx is the blueprint for how you overcome adversity and years of historic disinvestment to then come back stronger than ever before.
With these strategic investments in our schools, healthcare infrastructure, affordable housing, and economic development, we are equipping our communities with the tools to be successful.
We look forward to our continued partnership with our Bronx Economic Development Corporation, Business Initiative Incorporated of New York, Bronx Tourism Council, colleagues in government, community partners, and residents who are helping to move our borough forward.
A special thank you to our emcee, performers, faith leaders, BronxNet television, and Cardinal Hayes for hosting us! #uphayes
