Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 28 No. 22
To our faithful readers,

The latest edition of the Norwood News is out and hitting the stands as we write, with plenty (and we do mean plenty) of community news you can use.

We go to the epicenter of Norwood, Williamsbridge Oval Park, where football practice has to be cut short for one club that’s working on its plays without any adequate lights. Requests from club organizers have gone unchecked. Read how no lights is impacting their game.

We also delve into a growing trend that’s happening across the Bronx: priced out commercial tenants. For rent signs are popping up in commercial establishments, and one lobbying group is hoping to reverse that by compelling legislators to enact the Small Business Jobs Survival Act. Worth a read.

We then have musings on the Vision Zero plan, cool outings in Out & About, and community services in Neighborhood Notes. We also have reflections on the dismal voter turnout in the Bronx, which has a severe impact on voters who stay home. Learn why.

The rundown is but a quarter of what we have in the latest edition of the Norwood News. Check it out. Share it on social media, with your buddies, and learn what’s happening in the community.

Til then!

Norwood News

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.
