The New York City Planning Commission recently voted in favor of the Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan, which aims to bring nearly 7,500 new homes, including 1,900 permanently income-restricted units, and 10,000 jobs to areas around four new Metro-North stations coming to the East Bronx neighborhoods of Parkchester/Van Nest, Morris Park, Hunts Point, and Co-op City. The new Metro-North stations, expected to open in 2027, are planned to connect East Bronx residents to opportunities across the borough and region while reducing car usage.
