New details have emerged regarding NYU's massive proposed expansion plans, all of which are dependent upon the City Council and the City lifting existing zoning restrictions, transferring public land to NYU, and abridging urban renewal deed restrictions.

The public hearing, review, and approval process for NYU's massive proposed expansion plan is expected to begin after the first of the year. The approximately seven-month process will include multiple public hearings and votes by the Community Board, the Borough President, the City Planning Commission, and the City Council. NYU's plan to add approximately 2.5 million square feet of space - the equivalent of the Empire State Building - to the blocks below Washington Square CANNOT move ahead UNLESS approved by the City Planning Commission and the City Council.
