New York City launches initiative to improve quality of life in Bronx's The Hub

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a new initiative called "Community Link" to address quality-of-life issues in The Hub, a troubled area in the Bronx known for open drug use. This program will involve multiple city agencies. The Hub will join other problematic areas receiving increased city resources, including Roosevelt Avenue and Midtown West. The initiative aims to improve public safety and tackle issues like substance abuse and homelessness. Details on the implementation of the program in The Hub were not provided. The announcement follows recent reports highlighting ongoing drug-related problems in the area, despite previous city efforts to address them.
