Say No to the NYU Expansion Plan
June 29, 2012 |
Join HDC, NYU Faculty against the Sexton Plan, GVSHP and many other preservation groups this Friday, June 29 for a rally on the steps of City Hall at 8:30 am and the City Council public hearing at 9:30 am, and tell the Council to 'VOTE NO' New York University’s plans to expand in the open space and low-rise areas around Washington Square Village and the landmarked University Village. The plan would lift long-standing neighborhood zoning protections, open-space preservation requirements, and urban renewal deed restrictions in order to allow the university to build 2.5 million square feet, the equivalent of the Empire State Building. Although a few changes to the plan have been made, the overall plan still threatens to destroy the designed open spaces of the Washington Square South area and irreparably damage its character.If you have not done so already, please send a letter or call your City Councilmember to let them know this is an issue you care about.
