LIVE | Community Board 12 Meeting, 11/22/26

Bronx Community Board 12’s full board meeting was held October 22, 2026 (the recording metadata is dated October 23). Procurement- and budget-related updates included the Bronx Borough President’s reported allocations of $350,000 for mobile media cards and technology for Bronx High School of Hip Hop, $2 million toward a new Lincoln Hospital lab, $1 million for construction of the Green Jobs Center in Fordham, and $121 million across 627 Bronx education projects. The board discussed its budget priorities, including a request to fund the Shoelace Park master plan, estimated at about $150 million, and the city council’s participatory budgeting process, which invites ideas for spending $1 million in the neighborhood; at least one proposed project must be at least $50,000 and located on public property. No new contract award or competitive procurement was identified.

The board approved renewal of the on-premises liquor license for Horse and Jockey at 4277 Katonah Avenue. It also approved a motion to send elected officials a letter inquiring about funding and updates to neighborhood community health profiles, with an additional request to seek support from other community boards. Other discussion included the White Plains Road neighborhood plan and calls for more detailed zoning proposals, along with community outreach and public-service announcements. The meeting also included advocacy and policy updates, but no additional procurement decisions were reported.
