  • Chapter 3.6: HISTORIC RESOURCES
    Lower Concourse Rezoning and Related Actions EIS New York City Department of City Planning 3.6 HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The proposed action would not result in significant adverse impacts to archaeological resources; however, it has the potential to result in unmitigated significant adverse impacts to one potentially eligible National Register resource, the North Side Board of Trade, due to potential conversion of the existing structure. Any significant adverse impacts from such a conversion would be unmitigated other than through limited protection under DOB regulations applicable to all buildings located adjacent to construction sites, since this resource is not a designated New York City landmark and has not been calendared for designation. Mitigation could include calendaring the North Side Board of Trade Building for consideration as a New York City Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission; if this resource was deemed to be landmark eligible, then further protection for redevelopment of this site would be afforded. This chapter assesses the potential effect of the proposed action on historic architectural and archaeological resources. The CEQR Technical Manual identifies historic resources as districts, buildings, structures, sites, and objects of historical, aesthetic, cultural, and archaeological importance. This includes designated NYC Landmarks; properties calendared for consideration as landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC); properties listed on the State/National Registers of Historic Places (S/NR) or contained within a district listed on or formally determined to be eligible for S/NR listing; properties recommended by the New York State Board for listing on the S/NR; National Historic Landmarks; and properties not identified by one of the programs listed above, but that meet their eligibility requirements.

  • Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign 1 the Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx Bodegas Marke
    Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign The Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx bodegas marketing campaign, created by the Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup (BBW), was officially launched November 15, 2017 to encourage Bronx residents to purchase healthier foods and beverages at bodegas in the Bronx. With Bronx bodegas selling healthier options -- fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy sandwiches, low-fat dairy products, water and low sodium products -- thousands of Bronx residents now have greater access to healthy foods in their neighborhood bodegas, an important means of improving their health. Begun in 2016, the workgroup includes: the Institute for Family Health's Bronx Health REACH Coalition, Montefiore's Office of Community & Population Health, BronxWorks, Bronx Community Health Network, the Bodega Association of the United States, the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network, Inc., the American Dairy Association North East, WellCare Health Plans Inc, Urban Health Plan, City Harvest, the NYC Department of Health – Bronx Neighborhood Health Action Center, and BronxCare Health System. The Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup together works with 53 stores. The marketing campaign was created by MESH Design and Development, a small design firm selected by the workgroup. The campaign design was informed by community focus groups that included youth from the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center and from the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation both youths and adults. Participants provided ideas for content, color, and images. The campaign ran from October 2018 through January 2019 with signage in English and Spanish. The bodegas received posters, shelf signs and door clings. Posters were also distributed to neighboring businesses located near the bodegas.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 22, 2010, Designation List 430 LP-2388 HAFFEN BUILDING, 2804-2808 Third Avenue (aka 507 Willis Avenue), the Bronx Built 1901-02; Michael J. Garvin, architect Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 2307, Lot 59 On December 15, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Haffen Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The Haffen Building is a seven-story Beaux-Arts style office building designed by architect Michael J. Garvin and erected in 1901 to 1902 by brewery owner Mathias Haffen. The building is located in the western Bronx neighborhood of Melrose, an area predominantly populated by German- Americans during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Haffen Building was part of the rapid development of the “the Hub,” the commercial center of Melrose, which centered on the intersection of East 149th Street, Melrose, Willis and Third Avenues. By the turn of the 20th century, the Haffen family was one of the main families of the Bronx, having made essential contributions to the physical and social infrastructure of the Bronx including surveying and laying out of parks and the streets, developing real estate, and organizing of a number of civic, social, and financial institutions. Mathias Haffen was active in real estate development in Melrose and, in 1901, chose a prominent, through- block site between Third and Willis Avenues in the Hub to erect a first- class office building for banking and professional tenants.
