Stringer names new land use director

Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer has appointed Brian Cook
as the new land use director. He previously served as senior urban
planner and policy advisor to Stringer and was involved in evaluating
the 97th to 100th Street Rezoning in Manhattanville, Fordham
University’s expansion proposal and New York University’s Community
Taskforce for campus development. Cook is replacing Anthony Borelli,
who resigned in July after four years to take a position at Edison Properties as its vice president for planning and real estate. TRD
