American Society of Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence Nominations C/O Carolyn Mitchell 636 Eye Street, NW Washington, DC 20001-3736
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF American Society of Landscape Architects LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS Medal of Excellence Nominations NEW YORK 205 E 42nd St, 14th floor c/o Carolyn Mitchell New York, NY 10017 636 Eye Street, NW 212.269.2984 Washington, DC 20001-3736 www.aslany.org Re: Nomination of Central Park Conservancy for Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence Dear Colleagues: I am thrilled to write this nomination of the Central Park Conservancy for the Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence. The Central Park Conservancy (CPC) is a leader in park management dedicated to the preserving the legacy of urban parks and laying the foundations for future generations to benefit from these public landscapes. Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a scenic retreat from urban life for the enjoyment of all. Located in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is the nation’s first major urban public space, attracting millions of visitors, both local and tourists alike. Covering 843 acres of land, this magnificent park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and as a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1974. As the organization entrusted with the responsibility of caring for New York’s most important public space, the Central Park Conservancy is founded on the belief that citizen leadership and private philanthropy are key to ensuring that the Park and its essential purpose endure. Conceived during the mid-19th century as a recreational space for residents who were overworked and living in cramped quarters, Central Park is just as revered today as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day stresses of urban life — a place where millions of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world come to experience the scenic beauty of one of America’s greatest works of art.

MEMORANDUM DATE: November 25, 2014 TO: Croton Facility Monitoring Committee FROM: New York City Independent Budget Office SUBJECT: Update on the Costs of the Croton Filtration Plant and Associated Projects At the request of the Croton Facility Monitoring Committee (CFMC), the Independent Budget Office has prepared an update on the costs associated with building the Croton Water Filtration Plant located under the Mosholu Golf Course in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. IBO’s analysis of the city’s capital spending data indicates that the capital costs related to the Croton Water Filtration Plant are now projected to total $3.7 billion. Of that amount, $3.5 billion has already been committed and $157.4 million in additional commitments are planned through fiscal year 2020. Included in this sum are expenses for the construction of the plant, the rehabilitation of the New Croton Aqueduct (NCA), and spending on related mitigation and amenity projects. This memo provides a summary of the project’s current budget and highlights the notable changes that have occurred since IBO’s last update on these costs, which we presented to the CFMC in November 2011. We have also included three detailed appendices. The first appendix presents a summary of the project’s capital costs, along with contract details for the construction of the plant and rehabilitation of the aqueduct. The second appendix provides cost information for each of the related mitigation and amenity projects. (In 2004 the city and state signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that outlined the mitigation activities the city was obligated to undertake to compensate the Bronx for the loss of parkland due to the construction of the water filtration plant.) The third appendix provides a comparison between the current set of mitigation projects and costs, and those outlined in the 2004 MOU.

Photo to Come a MESSAGE from MAYOR MICHAEL R
NYCEDC2010 ANNUAL REVIEW Photo to come A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG New York City’s future is brighter than ever, and our entrepreneurs and small businesses are driving new growth here. To support their efforts, we’ve unveiled dozens of new projects and programs over the past year targeted at diversifying the City’s economy and spurring entrepreneurship. And our work to support sectors ranging from new media and biotechnology to the arts and green finance are bearing fruit, with new busi- nesses being established in New York City by local and international entrepreneurs alike. That is why now, more than ever, it is imperative to foster the talent that has always called New York City home, and to attract the best and brightest from abroad. The fu- ture drivers of the City’s economy – web developers, artists, and financial services work- ers among them – are bridging traditional business models with new, groundbreaking ideas for the 21st Century. And they want to locate here. In the past year, group of young Indian businessmen with an innovative approach to green technology won the City’s inaugural International Business Plan competition; dozens of software developers from around the country created new mobile applications from City data; and in the process, our City government has become more transparent and accessible to residents, businesses, and visitors. When New York City becomes more accessible, we all win, be- cause entrepreneurs will gravitate to an environment that is both vibrant and open. These economic transformation initiatives are taking place alongside our continued ef- forts to make New York City more livable.
