Community Board #9 will hold a public hearing to review their 197-A plan, which seeks to establish comprehensive development guidelines for the neighborhoods of Morningside Heights, Manhattanville and Hamilton Heights. The details of the plan include preserving historic landmarks and blocks and creating a special mixed-use district for Manhattanville, as well as securing industrial jobs, affordable housing and environmentally-friendly policies. If successful, this plan could create guidelines with which the Columbia University expansion must comply.The meeting is this Monday, July 9th at 6:30 p.m. at the Manhattanville Community Center, 530 West 133rd Street (between Amsterdam and Broadway). (Columbia will be presenting its own 197-c Plan to the public on Wednesday, August 15.)
If you attend the meeting, be sure to share your observations and opinions here on the blog.
