Diaz hopes to have Related agreement signed by Monday

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz is, like the Bronx City Council members, opposed to the creation of a new supermarket at the Kingsbridge Armory. Diaz is negotiating an agreement with the armory’s developer, the Related Companies. He has to make a recommendation supporting or opposing the armory project Monday, and he said he hopes to have an agreement signed before that. The armory is across the street from an existing supermarket, and the city’s original request for proposals for the site called for projects that would not threaten existing local businesses.
