Today the New Settlement Community Center opened in Mount Eden section of the Bronx and was celebrated at a morning press conference by Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Walcott. This remarkable complex is the result of a partnership between a leading non-profit, Settlement Housing Fund, and the NYC School Construction Authority. The facility includes three schools and 1000 students as well as a community center with a 25 yard pool, dance studio and outdoor classroom. The entire complex will be managed by Settlement Housing Fund, allowing the gymnasium complex, play yards and other large spaces within the school to be open for off-hour use by the local community.
