Kingsbridge Heights Small Business Owners Being Pushed Out

With a Jan. 18 deadline fast approaching for receipt of applications by the City of New York to a Request for Proposal (RFP) to redevelop the Kingsbridge Armory in Kingsbridge Heights, supporters of 12 local small businesses located along nearby Jerome Avenue and East Kingsbridge Road held a rally on Thursday, Dec. 7, calling on the merchants’ landlord to renew the merchants’ leases, rather than sell to the soon-to-be selected developer or associate partner.
