Dear Chair Viest,CPB 8 agreed to hold the meetings on Roosevelt Island.
The applied science and engineering campus to be built on Roosevelt Island by the partnership of Cornell University and The Technion-Israel Institute will be subject to review under New York City’s (NYC) Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) process. The triggering factors for this are that it will be located on NYC land currently occupied by the NYC Health and Hospital Corporation’s Goldwater Hospital.
When Manhattan Community Board 8 (CB 8) begins its review of this project, I am respectfully requesting that all meetings convened under the auspices of CB 8 be held on the Island.
Even though this project will spur long term economic benefits to both New York City and State, the construction of this multi-phase project over more than twenty years will have tremendous impact on the daily lives of Island residents and will change this residential community forever. By holding the CB8 meetings on the Island you and your fellow board members will be allowing for greater participation by the residents....
