This disclosure came as a surprise to Lower Man- hattan community leaders and elected officials, who had not been consulted by the Governor, or his original Essential Workers Monument Advisory Committee—a panel that did not count any Downtown residents among its members, and never held a sin- gle public meeting. The further New Governor Backs revelations that the Governor Predecessor’s Plan planned to begin construction for Essential within 48 hours, without any pub- Workers Monument lic comment or review, and have this project completed by Labor Day, sparked bitter criticism. Residents of Battery Park City reacted with fury, mounting a four-day, round-the-clock protest in Rocke- feller Park, during which local parents and children camped out in early July, through blistering heat and torrential rains, to prevent demolition work from beginning. This same group, rallying under the social media banner of Pause the Saws, also began preparing for litigation, seeking legal remedies to delay construction work. BPCA chairman George Tsunis answered these concerns by appearing at the protest and announcing, “this site is off the table.” He also convened multiple days of meetings with community leaders, seeking a compromise solution, which focused on possible alternate sites within the community. Howard Hughes Corporation has proposed to build a low-rise community facility (shown at right)—with a public, rooftop recreation space. This process culminated on July 12, when Congressman led a rally at the —the lawns beside which were proposed as one possible alternate site, after the plan for Rockefeller Park had been shelved.
