Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
Last week, we joined Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Department of Education, the NYC School Construction Authority, and youth advocates to celebrate the opening of 8 new schools in the Bronx! These schools are more than just buildings; they are gateways to a brighter future, offering our students pathways to scholarly learning, scholastic achievement, and creative exploration.
For Fiscal Year 2025, we invested over $15 million in our schools for infrastructure upgrades and to bridge the digital divide because we are committed to ensuring every child can succeed and reach their full potential. Together, we’re not just building schools; we’re building a stronger, more equitable future for all our scholars and their families.
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
On this Hunger Action Day, we are shedding light on an issue that is disproportionately affecting our older adults in the Bronx.
I am excited to announce a partnership with Grow NYC and the New York City Department for the Aging. We will distribute information and resources at our local farmers markets to ensure older adults in our borough have access to fresh and nutritious food options.
I want to thank Grow NYC and the New York City Department for the Aging for their partnership on this initiative and commitment to supporting our older adults.
Our Back-to-School tour was a success. It’s inspiring to see the passion and dedication of our students and educators. Together, we’re building a brighter future for our communities and investing in our young people.
The Bronx knows fashion and we showcased this fact at our Fashion Show Extravaganza at Bronx Borough Hall. Thank you to all the artists and participants who showed off their talent and creativity on the runway! This event was a huge success and underscores the importance of why we must continue to support culture and the arts in our borough.
We announced a $360,000 capital investment with Council Member Eric Dinowitz to make the Wakefield Library more accessible for our residents and families in the Bronx!
This allocation is not just about improving infrastructure; it is about aligning with our broader policy goals of creating equitable and inclusive public spaces. By enhancing the accessibility of our libraries, we are making a tangible impact on the quality of life in our borough.
We are ensuring that every member of our community, including our residents living with disabilities, can access the knowledge and resources they need to thrive.
