Koppell’s New Staffer

Councilman Oliver Koppell recently hired Adam Dubin as Coordinator of Special Projects and Community Development to serve in his Riverdale district office and in his Norwood satellite office at Mosholu Montefiore Community Center.

“I have known Adam for a long time and I have confidence in his ability to provide quality service to my constituents and the community at large,” Koppell said in a statement.

A resident of Riverdale, Dubin has a master’s degree in public policy management and is fluent in both Spanish and English. In addition to handling special projects and issues that affect the community at large, he will be available to assist constituents with problems related to housing, healthcare, transportation, entitlement programs and other city services.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
