The city's plan to rezone an approximately 46-block stretch adjacent to the rail line around the future Morris Park and Parkchester/Van Nest train stations is about to turn a corner. The project aims to create thousands of job opportunities and an estimated 6,000 additional homes in the rezoning area.
Following proposals made by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams, the City Council Speaker unveiled her own complementary plan that prioritized equity.
Mayor Adams joined union workers Wednesday to rally support for a proposed affordable housing development in the Bronx that has attracted stiff opposition from local residents including the area’s Council member, who holds major sway over whether the project will come to fruition.
