City comptroller William Thompson, who also sits on the board of the City's Industrial Development Agency (IDA), has threatened to vote “no” on Related Companies’ plans for the $323 million Kingsbridge Armory retail development in the Bronx if the developer does not make a number of changes. The IDA must approve the project as Related is attempting to get $13.8 million in tax breaks. Thompson joined with the Retail Wholesale and Department Store Union and other labor, religious and community groups to demand that Related agree to a Community Benefits Agreement(CBA) in which the developer guarantees wages and community hiring. Related is also being asked to build a school instead of a grocery store. A new grocery store would compete with one nearby. Related has said that they will continue to work with the community as the project moves forward.
