A flood of rank and file union reps is expected to take the streets blasting the Kingsbridge National Ice Center’s noncommittal position over whether it intends to use labor unions to build the massive project, the Norwood News has learned.
The demonstration, happening at 3pm in front of the armory, caps several months of questions from union officials on how the armory project would be built. Union brass have asked elected officials to aid them in their cause.
The demonstrations come amid several lawsuits that look to jeopardize the $350 million project, said to be the world’s largest ice skating center.

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.
