Manhattan beep denounces Manhattanville rezoning
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer announced today his disapproval of a rezoning proposal for a Manhattanville neighborhood manufacturing district. Under the proposal, the area spanning from Amsterdam to Convent avenues and from 129th to 130th streets would be rezoned for residential use, allowing the construction of a 130-unit residential building. Stringer said in a press release that he disapproves of the rezoning proposal because it offers no affordable housing and it limits opportunities for economic advancement in the community. Stringer’s sentiment jives with that of Community Board 9. The group held a special meeting July 28, announcing its disapproval of the plan unless it included an allotment of affordable housing as well as other concessions. The City Planning Commission will hold a hearing Sept. 23 on whether to approve the project. TRD
