Because if we LIVE here and SPEND here, we should have the opportunity to WORK here.
Upcoming Work
These are a sample of upcoming projects in the Bronx that will create thousands of construction jobs over the next several years. Currently none of these jobs are aimed at local residents. Where local communities and local unions have worked together, Bronx residents have prospered. For every $100 million spent in construction, it generates between 90 and 110 construction jobs.

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY!

We need developers to commit to hire contractors who, in turn, would hire local residents for jobs that pay good wages with health insurance, retirement security, and investments in training and education.

Let's put the Bronx to work!
We spoke with Bronx resident and construction worker James Zullo to find out what LiveWorkSpend means to him.

As a long time resident of the Bronx, what does it mean to you to be able to work on projects in your community?
It means a great deal because it allows me to support not only my local economy by way of working on commercial projects that will bring in more revenue for my borough, but being able to have a hand in changing the landscape of a place that I grew up.
Why do you believe hiring local is important especially for the Bronx?
It’s empowering. The people in the community, having working on a major project like Bay Plaza Mall for two years, there’s definitely a high level of pride in residents who also worked on that project and are able to take their families and show what they’re capable of doing and what their skills have contributed to.
What do you envision for the Bronx?
More educational institutions and sustainable income for the residents. Not every job provides sustainable income for the city that we live in. Providing sustainable income for the residents will ultimately directly affect the tax bracket of that borough and bring in other institutions that may be of great wealth for the borough.
