Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 28 No. 5


By DAVID CRUZ 

In another day filled with snow, snow, and more snow the Norwood News hopes you stay warm, cozy and aware of the latest edition of our neighborhood newspaper. We have twenty pages full of community news you can use.

We first begin with a plan by The Doe Fund to build Webster Green, a supportive/affordable housing at a prime piece of real estate on the ever-changing Webster Avenue, an area that seems to be pushing in different directions. Find out what community stakeholders have to say along with the developers of Webster Green.

We also have an intriguing story that explores the relationship between Comptroller Scott Stringer, the New York City Pension Fund and how it awarded The Related Cos. pension funds to buy three-dozen properties in the Bronx. Many tenants living in the buildings have been suffering with heat issues. We delve into that further.

There are also stories featured in our Crime File, Inquiring Photographer, School Briefs and our consistent Out & About section. Read up and share the news with your family and friends.

If you want a free hard copy of the newspaper you can stop by one of 300 locations throughout the northwest Bronx. Comments always help. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Enjoy!

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.
