And we don’t want to disturb anyone’s natural environment. So Fordham made the decision to invest in a permanent home for them,” said Marcella Gerbino, AVP of design and construction at Fordham.

How Much Do Endorsements Matter in NYC’s Local Races?
The City 02-27-2025
“In a very crowded, low-information primary — with presumably incredibly low turnout — certain endorsements will matter because they will serve as shortcuts for voters who don’t necessarily have the desire or the bandwidth to sift through all the different policy proposals of the various candidates,” explained Christina Greer, a political science professor at Fordham (and co-host of the THE CITY’s FAQ NYC podcast).
