Residents prepare for one last Kingsbridge Armory hearing

Community members will sound off the on the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment project one last time at a City Council hearing today, before the final council’s final vote, which is expected as early as Nov. 30, the New York Daily News reported. The armory project, located at 29 West Kingsbridge Road in the Bronx, has drawn outspoken support and criticism, with proponents pointing out that the structure will provide much-needed jobs and opponents decrying the lack of a community benefits agreement. One such opponent of the Related Companies’ project is Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, who has repeatedly said that a comprehensive community benefits contract — including a pledge to provide a living wage for workers — is integral to garnering his support.
