NYSERDA - The Clean Neighborhood Challenge

The Bronx is Breathing: Reimagining a Cleaner Hunts Point

The Clean Neighborhood Challenge is a New York State competition to access up to $30 million to build healthier disadvantaged communities through clean transportation. OUR TEAM HAS MADE IT THOUGH ROUND ONE!!


The Hunts Point is home to the nation's largest urban wholesale food hub, 9 waste transfer facilities, several large recycling yards, a robust manufacturing sector and a vibrant residential community of 13,000, all located in the southern tier of the poorest urban Congressional District in the United States. The peninsula is characterized by disparities between a thriving living wage employment hub that benefits the entire downstate region and an archetypal environmental justice community where 40% of residents live below the poverty line and children ages 5-14 consistently have some of the highest asthma rates in the state. 


The solution laid the proposal "The Bronx is Breathing" seeks to the leverage battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and public charging infrastructure to improve air quality and create economic opportunity for the South Bronx without disrupting the essential freight activities that power the local economy......
