Longtime CB7 Member Honored (Picture)
Community Board 7 member John Franco (holding plaque) says so long as he steps down from his membership on the board. He was the man of the hour at the latest CB7 General Board meeting. Board chair Adaline Walker-Santiago was teary-eyed as Franco was awarded a plaque for his commitment to the board that covers Norwood, Kingsbridge, Fordham, Bedford Park and University Heights. Pictured with Franco (l-r) are Assemblyman Victor Pichardo, Council members Fernando Cabrea and Ritchie Torres, and Walker-Santiago.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
