Description

A coalition of residents and business persons who resolved to remain a part of the Melrose Commons community (35 contiguous blocks in the heart of the South Bronx) and become equal partners with the City of New York in our community's redevelopment. It is our intention to be part of the process of change, progress, and implementation with the housing and urban development goals we held to define in the Melrose Commons Urban Renewal Plan. Nos Quedamos views the urban renewal process as not only encompassing physical regeneration but also addressing socio-economic and environmental conditions in the area, with the goal of developing an ecomically productive, sustainable community, and a healthy, livable enironment.
We believe that current members of the community must be afforded the opportunity not only to remain in the neighborhood as it undergoes renewal, but also to play an active and integral role in determining the very process of development.
