Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
Last week, the City Council voted in support of the Bronx Metro-North Area Plan, paving the way for the development of approximately 7,000 new homes in our borough and transformative changes to the East Bronx. This comprehensive approach to development reflects our shared commitment to building a stronger, more resilient Bronx that addresses our housing shortage and increases homeownership opportunities for our residents. I want to thank the New York City Council, Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Department of City Planning, as well as our East Bronx residents, Community Boards, and other pertinent stakeholders whose voices were essential to moving this plan forward. We look forward to seeing the implementation of this great plan.
Also, a big thank you to everyone who came out to our Health Bucks Pop-Up at BronxWorks Farmstand last Thursday. Your participation in promoting healthy living is what makes our borough thrive. Keep an eye out across our social media platforms for upcoming pop-up locations near you!
Lastly, we’re excited to invite you to the next installment of our Bronx Summer Concert Series, celebrating Ecuadorian Heritage Month at Ferry Point Park on Sunday, August 25th! Join us for an afternoon filled with vibrant music, dance, and cultural festivities that honor the rich traditions of the Ecuadorian community.
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
Our team hosted our first Farmers Market Pop-Up in partnership with Bronx Works at the Bronx Works Farm Stand on 1130 Grand Concourse today!
We were thrilled to distribute Health Bucks and share valuable resources to promote nutrition and healthy eating as part of our effort to combat food insecurity.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this initiative. We can’t wait to see you at our upcoming pop-ups!
