Dear Neighbor,
Our Community Board application is live, and we are urging Bronxites to apply now to join their local community board! We fulfilled a promise last year to create a digital application in English and Spanish to make the process easier and more accessible so our community boards can truly reflect the diversity of our borough. You will get to advocate for the needs of your community and hear directly from city agencies. Click here for more information!
We have also relaunched our fire safety education workshop series in partnership with the FDNY, focusing on public housing residents, seniors, and other vulnerable populations. In the Bronx, we have seen more than our fair share of fires that have led to families being displaced and communities forever changed. We are working strategically to get this potentially life-saving information out to those who need it the most and equip our residents with the tools to keep themselves and their families safe. Our next public workshop will be held in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society on Saturday, January 27, from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Bronx Zoo. Participants will get to enjoy free admission to the Bronx Zoo for the day of the training.
Lastly, we are excited to announce that New York City’s first free observatory is coming to the Bronx! We look forward to welcoming this project to our borough, which will be open for our youth and families to enjoy. Thank you to the Amateur Astronomers Association, the NYC Parks Department, the Bronx High School of Science, and everyone else involved in bringing this to fruition.
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
