Building for the Future: EIIC Bronx Office Expansion Nears Completion

The Emerald Isle Immigration Center (EIIC) is thrilled to share that our Bronx Office expansion project has made incredible progress over the summer months, and we’re now more than 90% complete! This long-anticipated rehabilitation represents an exciting new chapter for EIIC, allowing us to better serve the Irish and immigrant communities across New York City with expanded space, improved accessibility, and enhanced services.

A Space Designed for Care and Connection

The Bronx has always been home to one of EIIC’s busiest and most diverse client communities. This expansion will provide modernized facilities, additional private consultation areas, and upgraded technology to ensure every visitor receives the highest standard of care and support. Whether someone is seeking immigration assistance, legal guidance, senior services, or cultural connection, our revitalized Bronx Office will offer a welcoming and trusted environment to meet those needs.

Progress and Gratitude

Construction is now in its final phase, and our team is working closely with partners, contractors, and community supporters to bring this project to the finish line.We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has played a part, from our staff and volunteers, to our generous donors, local officials, the Irish Government, and all of our government funders for believing in our mission and helping us make this vision a reality.

What’s Next

As we move through the final steps of completion, we ask our community to continue to be patient and supportive. We’re eager to accelerate progress and begin the move-in phase soon, marking the start of a new era for EIIC’s Bronx operations.
