Open Space Land Use and Development Issues
Date: Thursday, December 6th 2007
At the second breakfast in our Fall 2007 series, we assembled a panel to delve into the land use and development controversies that surround open space in New York. Panelists discussed policies to protect gardens, parks and other green spaces that the City might consider as it embarks on its ambitious PlaNYC 2030 green agenda, as well as strategies for funding the construction and maintenance of green space.
Panelists:
- Adrian Benepe, Commissioner, New York City Department of Parks & Recreation
- Albert K. Butzel, President, Friends of Hudson River Park
- Holly Leicht, Associate Commissioner for New Construction, New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development
