  • Chapter 3.6: HISTORIC RESOURCES
    Lower Concourse Rezoning and Related Actions EIS New York City Department of City Planning 3.6 HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The proposed action would not result in significant adverse impacts to archaeological resources; however, it has the potential to result in unmitigated significant adverse impacts to one potentially eligible National Register resource, the North Side Board of Trade, due to potential conversion of the existing structure. Any significant adverse impacts from such a conversion would be unmitigated other than through limited protection under DOB regulations applicable to all buildings located adjacent to construction sites, since this resource is not a designated New York City landmark and has not been calendared for designation. Mitigation could include calendaring the North Side Board of Trade Building for consideration as a New York City Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission; if this resource was deemed to be landmark eligible, then further protection for redevelopment of this site would be afforded. This chapter assesses the potential effect of the proposed action on historic architectural and archaeological resources. The CEQR Technical Manual identifies historic resources as districts, buildings, structures, sites, and objects of historical, aesthetic, cultural, and archaeological importance. This includes designated NYC Landmarks; properties calendared for consideration as landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC); properties listed on the State/National Registers of Historic Places (S/NR) or contained within a district listed on or formally determined to be eligible for S/NR listing; properties recommended by the New York State Board for listing on the S/NR; National Historic Landmarks; and properties not identified by one of the programs listed above, but that meet their eligibility requirements.

  • Environmental Scorecard an Insider’S Guide to the Environmental Records of New York State Lawmakers Back to Work
    2019 New York State Environmental Scorecard An Insider’s Guide to the Environmental Records of New York State Lawmakers Back To Work Fifty years ago, New York’s leading environmental groups came together in Albany and gave rise to the “Environmental Planning Lobby” or “EPL.” Since that time, this organization — and our sister organization Environmental Advocates of New York — have been working to pass legislation that protects New Yorkers’ health and environment, as well as stop legislation that would cause them harm. For decades, our Scorecard has been a tool to hold legislators accountable to New Yorkers and the environment by reporting on their environmental voting record. During this half century, New York has enacted some remarkable environmental laws, such as the Adirondack Park Agency Act (1973), the State Environmental Quality Review Act (1975), the creation of the State Superfund (1982), the “Bottle Bill” (1983), the creation of the Environmental Protection Fund (1993), and most recently, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Yet, for the past 15 years, our Scorecard has lamented a lack of environmental progress. 2005 – “The Assembly scores… But the Senate strikes out…” 2006 – “ But that’s how things work in Albany. Voters send 62 senators to Albany to make decisions, but only a handful of those senators’ opinions count. The result — good legislation gets bottled up and environmental concerns go unresolved, year after year.” 2010 – “ The Senate also has a to-do list. Despite strong bipartisan support from 30 co-sponsors, legislation to cut climate pollution languishes in committee.” 2014 – “ The Senate Environmental Conservation Committee has rapidly become a place where the environmental community’s priorities hit a brick wall.” 2018 – “ ...the Senate continues to be a place where big, bold environmental ideas go to die.” During this time, important legislation that would have tackled climate change and protected our children from toxic chemicals sat around gathering dust.

  • 1 December 4, 2020 Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New
    THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY December 4, 2020 Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber, State Capitol Albany, NY 12248 Dear Governor Cuomo: We urge your attention to the growing challenges that acute, intermediate and long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and those that provide care for children and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, across the state face concerning recruitment and retention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising COVID-19 infection rates are poised to test new surge capacity plans at hospitals and long- term care facilities throughout rural, suburban and urban New York. We are now armed with a better understanding of the virus, and of treatments and interventions, than we were at the start of this pandemic. Yet statistics, unfortunately, indicate that New York could face the long-feared scenario of health facilities statewide being overrun by coronavirus patients and COVID-19-related safety measures which would hinder access to care and potentially cost lives despite breakthroughs in medical treatments for COVID-19. One of the greatest challenges for health facilities is the recruitment and retention of staff, from doctors and nurses to support staff, nurse assistants, janitorial staff and others. Many facilities faced difficulties with staff recruitment and retention prior to the start of the pandemic, proving that this is a long-term issue that the State must reckon with. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated the situation and we must swiftly provide a plan to remedy it. New York State must use funding provided to the State by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to support health care staffing.
