NEW YORK -- A new report by the State Comptroller's Office says the South Bronx is experiencing a wave of economic growth, despite the challenges and obstacles the neighborhood faced during the pandemic.
CBS New York has more on how the report reflects everyday life for people in the borough.
What it shows is that the area is undergoing a period of revitalization. In Mott Haven, for example, new businesses and buildings are popping up.
One of those businesses is Bronx Native, a clothing shop created by Amaurys Grullon that came into the neighborhood six years ago.
"I was 20 and I opened my eyes and I said, I have to do something for the Bronx. I have to do something for us," Grullon said.
