Following a story about the Kingsbridge Armory in our previous issue, “Armory Rumors Fly as Waiting Game Continues,” representatives from the Kingsbridge Armory Redevelopment Alliance (KARA) contacted the Norwood News. They wanted to say that, contrary to what Teresa Anderson, the president of Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition (a member of KARA), said at the time, Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión had indeed agreed to meet with them.
It’s unclear when, where or if this meeting took place. KARA representatives would not provide any additional information.
During his State of the Borough address two weeks ago, the day after the article came out in the Norwood News, Carrión specifically mentioned the long-delayed Armory project, saying he wanted to see a developer chosen quickly.
The city’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC), which is managing the project, continues to maintain that it is still deciding between two potential developers: the Related Companies and the Atlantic Development Group.
The EDC and mayor’s office were supposed to pick a winner this past fall. Meanwhile, as Council Member Oliver Koppell says, the Armory remains “fallow.”
