Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
I am proud to announce a $395,000 investment in our borough`s public safety efforts, which include funding for a borough-wide mobile command unit and security cameras. This announcement is a critical part of our ongoing commitment to reduce crime and ensure that every resident in our borough feels safe in their home and on our streets. This allocation for security cameras is one of many that I have included funding for in this year`s budget, including the installation of security cameras at some of our borough`s schools as part of our plan to keep our scholars and educators safe in and out of the classroom. I want to thank my colleagues in government, faith leaders, the NYPD, and our cure violence organizations who joined us for this announcement and for their commitment to keeping our communities safe. Together, we will cultivate an environment where safety thrives through partnerships between law enforcement, community organizations, and each of you.
Our office is also excited to host our Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration! Join us on Thursday, October 3rd at 6 PM as we celebrate the culture and contributions of Bronx entrepreneurs, business owners, advocates, community leaders, and entertainers of Hispanic descent.
Lastly, registration is still open for the Annual Tour de Bronx bike ride on Sunday, October 6th. All novice and experienced riders are encouraged to join us for the largest free biking event in the tri-state area as we celebrate 30 years of this event promoting alternative modes of transportation, fitness, and the very best of the Bronx! Click here to register.
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 are proud to invest $395,000 in our borough`s public safety efforts, which include funding for a borough-wide mobile command unit and security cameras.
Yesterday`s announcement is a critical part of our ongoing commitment to combating crime and ensuring that every resident feels safe in their homes and on our streets.
Together, we will deploy these cameras strategically, ensuring that they are placed in areas that will have the most impact.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important announcement.
Last week, we held a press conference in support of more trees in our borough.
Our green spaces are essential to the health and well-being of every resident in the Bronx, and the importance of trees in our communities cannot be overstated.
With more trees, we’re not just adding beauty to our neighborhoods—we’re creating real, lasting benefits for all Bronxites.
A special thank you to Friends of Pelham Bay Park, South Bronx Unite, Bronx Council for Environmental Equality, Natural Areas Conservancy, Dream Charter School, and Waste Management for your partnership in bringing attention to this important issue.
During the Third Avenue BID Interagency walkthrough, we discussed important issues at the HUB: open-air substance use, encampments, littering, illegal dumping, syringes, and street vending challenges.
With the support of our colleagues in government, we are committed to taking further steps to ensure a safer and cleaner community for all and look forward to deeper collaboration to find solutions to these issues.
We joined NYS Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and the NYS Department of Financial Services at Ponce Bank to announce its participation in the Banking Development District Program.
This initiative is designed to stimulate and revitalize neighborhoods underserved by banks, increasing capital for local businesses, promoting economic development and job growth, and supporting personal wealth growth.
As part of the Comptroller’s ongoing efforts to boost economic growth, Ponce Bank will receive $35 million to provide loans right here in the Bronx.
Thank you to our elected officials and key stakeholders for their support in making this possible!
