Bronx's Kingsbridge Armory Set for $200M Revitalization

Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have pledged $200 million to revitalize the vacant Kingsbridge Armory in The Bronx, although the specific plans for the site are yet to be determined. The formal request for proposals will be released in September, with proposals due by December. If all goes according to the tentative schedule, groundbreaking could occur by 2027. Previous attempts to redevelop the armory have failed due to financial and political challenges. The current condition of the facility and environmental issues make it unsuitable for hosting migrants.
