Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz awarded Mosholu Preservation Corporation (publisher of the Norwood News) $35,000 for neighborhood improvements in the area surrounding the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District (BID).
The funds will be used for neighborhood beautification projects, including new garbage bins, painting, and improvements around the Mosholu Parkway subway station and Van Cortlandt Park.
According to Roberto Garcia, executive director of the Jerome-Gun Hill BID, it’s the sixth time Dinowitz has secured the funding for the Norwood area.

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.
