A redevelopment project of this scale is rare in my district; so when the opportunity arises, it is critical that we stay true to what our people have long been asking for—and deserve.

Together, we have won a project that will deliver what I know is possible in the W. Bronx: a future on our terms.

Having grown up in the shadows of the Kingsbridge Armory, I know what this structure represents: the immense potential of our community, decades of disinvestment, and now the promise of a better future for our people and the Bronx.

Too often, communities like ours are left behind.

[email protected] has voted to approve the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment plan for a historic $375 M investment through private and public funding and a $2.6 B economic impact.

I launched this initiative earlier this year alongside local electeds and organizations to call for coordinated investment in our neighborhoods.

This investment makes one thing clear: the West Bronx deserves the same safety, stability, and hope as every corner of our state.

The West Bronx has secured $3M for deep investments in our communities to address the root causes of violence. 💸👏

W/these funds, thanks to @governor.ny.gov + the West Bronx Community Safety Partnership, local orgs can expand the proven programs that create opportunity, build trust + save lives.

I march to honor Gladys Ricart and those impacted by domestic violence every day. 💜🤍

Brides March began 25 years ago to honor the life of Gladys, who was murdered on her wedding day, and has since evolved to honor the many victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Ni una más.
