South Bronx communities benefit from public, private funds
Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff, in charge of the city’s economic development, looks at Bronx neighborhoods as a model for economic development and change.
“This amount of development and growth is absolutely unprecedented in the recent history of the Bronx,” says Doctoroff. “It shows how city-inspired public programs like improving streets, building parks, monitoring zoning and increasing transportation options can create the kind of conditions where private investment can flourish.”
Pointing at the new Metro-North station and the increase in retail for the GatewayCenter by the old Bronx Terminal Market, Doctoroff says it’s the job of city government to create environments that encourage the private market (meaning companies that operate for profit) to invest in the community. Here’s how and where that policy has impacted the South Bronx.
