Another year, another Bronx high school student can have their artwork shown in the halls of the U.S. Capitol along with other winners nationwide and the district office of Rep. Adriano Espaillat for up to one year.
As we reported yesterday, six remaining tenants at 400 Grand Street, which will be demolished next year to make way for the Essex Crossing project, are fighting for relocation rights. But another tenant in the building, the Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy, is also concerned about its future.
400 Grand Street.
The conservancy, part of the United Jewish Council of the East Side, established its first dedicated home in a 650 square foot storefront at 400 Grand in 2011. The space had previously been occupied by Ruby’s Fruits, a Lower East Side institution. But the building will likely be emptied and torn down next year in preparation for new residential and commercial development set to rise on nine long-neglected sites in the former Seward Park Urban Renewal Area.
