City Council subcommittee greenlights MIH project in the Bronx 
Quote:
A month after local officials defeated what was designed to be a trailblazing private development in Inwood, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration can claim a major affordable housing victory in the Bronx.
The city council’s planning subcommittee on Wednesday approved the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program at La Central, a 992-unit affordable housing project planned for the Melrose section of the Bronx. The project, publicly funded and developed, will head to a full Council vote next week.
“Nearly a thousand families in the Bronx will have new homes they can afford, with new services and recreation facilities that will strengthen this whole neighborhood,” de Blasio said in a statement.
