News, updates and more from NYC Council Member Rafael Salamanca, Jr.

 

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

CS 150 $1,000,000 CHECK PRESENTATION 
 
I’ve often spoken of my experience growing up in the South Bronx and how that has impacted my tenure as an elected official.

My experience came full circle during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at CS 150 — my Alma mater — where I presented them with a $1,000,000 check for their renovated playground and outdoor space. In total, I have proudly allocated $3.9 million to CS 150 to support their educational infrastructure. 



👉 With the Bronx being historically underfunded, it should come across as no surprise that our schools and our students have been left behind as well

👉 To fix this inequitable, educational gap, I made the important decision to put our youth first — having allocated to-date over $30.5 million to our District 17 schools


STORYLAND IN THE BRONX!
 
Friday was Epic ✨… @storyland_thebxbookhaven officially opened, dedicated to increasing literacy and love for reading 📚in #TheBronx.  Thank you @nopelomalo_sulma for allowing our young adults - Aidan included - to showcase their talents. ❤️ #investinginourfuture


CROTONA VII WALKTHROUGH 
 
Throughout my time at the New York City Council, I’ve fought for increased access & preservation of affordable housing for my District 17 constituents. 

I continued this work, conducting a walkthrough of Crotona VII on Hoe Avenue to discuss the proper financial resources needed to ensure that critical infrastructure repairs can be made. 

👉 With our current stock aging, I will continue working with government partners to protect affordable housing in the Bronx
