Latest Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 29 No. 7
Dear Loyal Readers,

The Norwood News, the Bronx community newspaper bringing you plenty of community news you can use, is out with its seventh edition of 2016!

This week we once again go back to Kingsbridge Heights and a faceoff brewing between city officials and developers of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center. Apparently, the city is not satisfied with an explanation from KNIC saying it has money committed for the project. The New York City Economic Development Corporation is asking, “Show us the money!” Ice developers now have 30 more days to present funds.

We also bring you stories on the impact the New York City Council’s recent passage of new zoning amendments will have on Norwood. Hear why the neighborhood’s local Council rep is against a portion of the amendments.

We also bring you traffic jams on Kingsbridge Road, a community center’s fight to keep its funding, and a colorful photo spread of the Spring Egg Hunt at Williamsbridge Oval Park.

As usual, we have the Norwood News’ familiar staples–Neighborhood Notes, Inquiring Photographer and Out & About. Definitely worth reading.

So take a look at the latest edition of the Norwood News, and if you’re interested in advertising, email Vivian Carter at vcarter@norwoodnews.org.

Until next time!

Editor-in-Chief, 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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.
