Monthly Bronx Metro-North Neighborhood Plan Update August 2024
City Council Approves Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan!
Good news! Yesterday, the NYC Council voted to approve the Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan!
The Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan will help spur the creation of approximately 7,000 new homes, including 1,700 permanently income-restricted homes through Mandatory Inclusionary Housing.
The plan demonstrates New York City's commitment to holistic planning around the new Metro-North stations coming to the Bronx to ensure they are thoughtfully integrated into the surrounding communities. The plan will create a significant amount of new housing and jobs, and direct hundreds of millions of dollars of investments in public amenities and infrastructure to the East Bronx. Together, these investments will significantly enhance public space, transportation access, public safety and environmental resiliency for residents.

A BIG Thank You to the Community!
We want to take a moment to thank all of our community members, institutions, local elected officials, fellow state and federal government agencies, and countless other stakeholders for their passion and dedication to the East Bronx neighborhoods affected by this plan. We could not have gotten here without your cooperation, patience, and hours of hard work and feedback over the past six years.
