Liberty Village demolished on Governors Island

Sign Up for the undefined Newsletter

The Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation invited the public to watch the demolition of Liberty Village at noon today. Liberty Village is a complex of 10 three-story buildings on Governors Island that were built in 1988 as housing for the Coast Guard, which stopped using the buildings in 1996. The land will eventually be part of a 90-acre area open to the public. Sufficient funds to complete the island’s redevelopment could become hard to find as the city faces a mounting deficit; about $120 million in financing has been invested so far.
