Additionally, the Facility would support intermodal connections to shuttle bus, commuter rail and subway services, providing a benefit to the region's commuters. This project will go a long way in restoring residential tranquillity while supporting the economic expansion of the commercial district as well as the University's own growth and accessibility. The University is currently seeking additional state funding to complete the project. The Fordham project is a long-term benefit to the prosperity of the commercial district and the surrounding neighborhoods. Assemblyman Rivera and I are pleased with the continued efforts undertaken by the Assembly leadership and Fordham in moving this project toward construction and ultimate completion.
Economic development is the backbone to a brighter future for Bronx residents.
This project fits along the lines of a stronger, better developed, economically secured Bronx County. Founded in 1841, Fordham is New York City's Jesuit university. All rights reserved.
