City Council approved the highly controversial New York University plan Wednesday only after the balcony at City Hall Chambers was cleared because of opponents shouting “Shame on you,” and other phrases.
Councilmembers grilled New York University representatives at City Hall Tuesday before agreeing to a modified expansion plan for new buildings in Greenwich Village.
The citywide expansion plan NYU 2031: NYU in NYC, calls for four new buildings on two superblocks bordered by West 3rd Street, LaGuardia Place, West Houston Street, and Mercer Street.
The first of four votes on New York University’s plan to expand its campus in Greenwich Village took place Thursday night, with Community Board 2 voting unanimously to reject the plan.
The first Community Board 2 meeting about New York University Expansion in Greenwich Village was forced to relocate after the number of attendees exceeded the Community Board’s expectations.
New York University’s proposal to develop two superblocks they own in Greenwich Village began the formal review process with certification on Jan. 3, but not everyone is pleased.
