City & State New York
The Bronx is booming. The borough – once known for years of unfavorable headlines in the 1970s and 1980s – has been seeing increased development and attention from the business community and policymakers in recent years. New investment is coming to all parts of the borough, perhaps most notably in the South Bronx.

Here are the leaders who are making sure the Bronx continues to grow and thrive.
