At the beginning of his second full term in office, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. is outlining some of the continuing priorities of his administration. Borough President Diaz participated in a breakfast forum featuring all five borough presidents on Tuesday, January 28. The event, which was hosted by Crains New York Business, was designed to give each of the borough president’s an opportunity to discuss the next four years and what is on the horizon for each of their borough’s. Borough President Diaz opened his own portion of the discussion by noting his borough’s biggest challenge, stating that getting the story of the “New Bronx” across to others was the most important priority of his next term. This is no longer the Bronx of the 1970s... this is the New Bronx,” said Borough President Diaz. The borough president went on to note that several major projects have come to the Bronx during his first term, and that these projects are helping to drive the borough’s ongoing growth and revitalization, both in job creation and in changing the borough’s brand. Among those projects are Freshdirect, which will save 2,000 jobs currently located in Queens while bringing 1,000 new jobs to the Bronx. Borough President
Diaz also discussed the importance of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center, which will bring nine ice rinks and a 5,000 seat arena to the Northwest Bronx, making the borough the home of the largest and most significant ice sports center in the nation. “This is the kind of development we
