    CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: An Economic Impact Study An Interim Report Asian American Federation of New York April 4, 2002 In Collaboration With: Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fiscal Policy Institute Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, University of California, Los Angeles The views expressed in this report are those of the Asian American Federation and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System, the Fiscal Policy Institute, or the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, UCLA. CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.

The passengers onboard the train were discharged to the station platform. The individual was removed from under the first car by FDNY-EMS and taken to New York Downtown Hospital with severe head wounds. There were no reports of any equipment damage or passenger injuries.

  • Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed actions would result in an approximately 1.7 million gross-square-foot1 (gsf) (1.648 million zoning-square-foot) mixed-use development on 10 City-owned sites (of which nine are proposed development sites), the mapping of sections of Broome and Suffolk Streets, and the demapping of sections of Clinton and Delancey Streets, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan (see Figure 2-1). As set forth in Chapter 1, the reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS) for the proposed actions envisions the development of 900 dwelling units (of which half would be affordable), approximately 632,300 gsf of commercial space, approximately 114,000 gsf of community facility or cultural uses, up to 500 parking spaces, and an approximately 10,000-square-foot publicly accessible open space. This chapter considers the proposed actions’ potential impacts on land use, zoning, and public land use policies. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS Overall, this analysis concludes that the proposed actions would not have any significant adverse impacts on land use, zoning, or public policy. LAND USE The proposed actions would have a positive effect on land use by creating an active new mixed- use development with publicly accessible open space on underutilized sites. The new housing, retail, publicly accessible open space, and community facility uses would bring activity to the proposed development sites and would serve both residents of the surrounding area and the larger community. The new uses introduced by the proposed actions would be compatible with the existing and anticipated future mix of residential, retail, and commercial uses in the surrounding area.
