These next six months are going to be crucial.

A new chair is taking over at the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The Mayor will be releasing plans for hundreds of thousands of new units of affordable housing. We will be in court fighting NYU and the City's appeal of our victory against the NYU expansion plan. Plans may move ahead for a large new development on the Bowlmor Lanes site on University Place and 12th Street. And proposals are expected to advance for the transfer inland of air rights from  Hudson River Park.

You help make it happen!
