NY-Sheridan Expressway Corridor EPA Area Wide Planning Effort

BRS Inc., is working with the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (SoBRO) community and other stakeholders to develop an area-wide plan and implementation strategy for the Bronx River-Sheridan Expressway Corridor.

History

BRS worked with project partners including the SoBRO Community Development Corporation, the Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice, the New York City Department of City Planning and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation to address a twenty-eight acre area with three brownfield clusters in the Bronx River – Sheridan Expressway corridor. The project will identify potential brownfield clusters, establish a community-driven vision for their repurposing, and identify potential issues and resources for their remediation. This project is ongoing.
