Hochul, Adams pledge $200M to redo Kingsbridge Armory, although no one knows what for yetBy Desheania Andrews and Nolan Hicks

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday pledged $200 million to breath life into the long-empty Kingsbridge Armory in The Bronx — although they don’t even know what’s going there yet.
Virtually every detail — other than the size of check from the city and state treasuries — has yet to be worked out.
The formal request for plans won’t even be released until September, and the proposals from developers will be due back by December.
If all goes according to the very tentative schedule, a groundbreaking could happen by 2027, officials said.
But neither Hochul nor Adams let any of that get in the way of festivities inside of the massive facility.
“This is how we make up for last time, give people hope again,” Hochul said.
Adams said, “This is about turning this city around.
“Kingsbridge Armory has been attempted two times,” he added. “And now we’re going to get it done and we’re going to do it right.”
