NEW YORK CITY-After several years of failed redevelopment plans, the city is working to revitalize the long-vacant Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx. During the 2012 “State of the City” address, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the city would issue a request for proposals to find a new developer to revamp the historic 575,000-square-foot property.

“We’re putting aside our differences to do what’s best for the city,” Bloomberg said, during the address at Morris High School. He said city economic development officials would work hand-in-hand with borough president Ruben Diaz, Jr. to find a new operator for the site. “That’s what leadership is about.
