Rezoning Could Revitalize Webster Ave.
as published in the Norwood News
Ozzie Brown looks at the oil-drenched industrial stretch of Webster Avenue and sees a completely different future for this wide corridor that runs parallel to the Bronx River.
"We want to see bookstores, museums and cafés, so that it has a village feel," said Brown, the chair of Community Board 7's Land Use Committee. "We want to see nightlife, cuisine and culture."
The Department of City Planning, working closely with Brown's committee and the whole board, have drafted a plan designed to bring in new apartment buildings, stores and businesses on Webster, between Fordham Road and Gun Hill Road.
