The New York Police Department does not plan to unload the Police Academy building in Gramercy after the academy relocates to Queens later this year. Instead, the eight-story property at 235 East 20th Street will continue to serve police functions.
Community Board 6 had hoped that a middle school or high school could occupy the space, located near Third Avenue. The NYPD said it will conduct a study on how best to use the facility.
The academy’s move to a new College Point, Queens, site is slated for July. [DNAinfo] — Mark Maurer
