FOX 5 NY's Antwan Lewis was there for the ribbon cutting of Bronx Point.Officials and community members were on hand Thursday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony that will increase housing availability in the South Bronx.
Called Bronx Point, Phase 1 includes 542 modern units of affordable housing now available to New Yorkers struggling to afford places of their own. The development will also have retail space, an outside workout area, and a public park, all on 2.8 acres of waterfront access right next to the Harlem River.
Even more significantly, Bronx Point will house the much anticipated Universal Hip Hop Museum, the first museum solely dedicated to music's biggest-selling genre located in the borough where the genre began 50 years ago this year."It just seems like when you know that it's supposed to happen and when it's the right place, right time with the right people everything goes right," Shante said.
