Bronx Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj wants to give the Bronx more access to Albany powerbrokers and insiders and he’s busing Bronxites upstate today to make it happen. In conjunction with the Bronx Borough President’s office and Montefiore Medical Center, Gjonaj’s office is hosting Bronx Day at “The Egg” convention center in downtown Albany. They’ll be showcasing some of the best the Bronx has to offer and allowing borough leaders, stakeholders and residents to meet with some of the state’s most powerful committees. Later, they’ll be holding a cocktail reception to allow for more schmoozing and networking. In an interview on Bronxnet (above), Gjonaj talks about today’s events and why they’re doing it.

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.
