As a result, the piers became a barren, post-industrial site with little activity. Even so, the area had significant potential for reuse, in part due to its panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline across the East River. In the 1990s, PANYNJ announced plans to sell the land for commercial development.

    July 8 Grants Press Release

    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

    5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail Is an Ongoing Process

    5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail is an ongoing process. The existing hiking, biking and water trail routes can continue to be improved and promoted, while the multi-use path will require a significant level of new planning, design and capital investment. In the past 25 years, the Greenway has developed grass-roots and local government support for these efforts, providing an excellent foundation for the next generation of the trail system. The following actions are recommended for the ongoing success of the HRVG: 1. Continue promoting the Water Trail: this is the most direct connection to the river, and can be marketed without significant capital improvements to promote the whole Greenway. 2. Upgrade the existing Hiking Trails: The continuous hiking trail can be achieved with alignments closer to the river - and many of these key connections are already in progress. With the new TZ bridge path and the Walkway over the Hudson, a loop hiking trail can connect both sides of the river in the lower half of the valley. 3. Improve the on-road Bike Routes: the currently signed NYS Bike Route 9 is a challenging route and is limited to experienced cyclists. Improving signage, paved shoulders, bike lanes, bike parking and Amtrak access will all support increased use along the route. Both the PTNY and West Side routes are not currently designated, but they can be improved to create on-road routes on both sides of the river. 4. Develop the continuous Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail trunk line: the efforts of the past decades have led to significant new potential to create a continuous multi-use path the length of the Hudson River Valley from Manhattan to the Adirondacks.

    Inscape Cultural Study Society

    INSCAPE CULTURAL STUDY SOCIETY THE HUDSON RIVER OF INVENTION, VALLEY OF HOPE THURSDAY 9 TO MONDAY 20 OCTOBER 2014 NICHOLAS FRIEND Along the 315 mile length of the Hudson River which flows through eastern New York State from the Adirondacks to the Statue of Liberty, much that we value in American culture was conceived: New York City began, as New Amsterdam, on the Hudson. American landscape painting was born on the Hudson, as was the landscape conservation movement. The Shakers led by Ann Lee emigrated from England to thrive at New Lebanon, on the Hudson. The first commercially successful paddle steamboat line occurred not on the Mississippi, but on the Hudson, and America’s first regularly scheduled rail service connected New York City with Albany, the state capital at the mouth of the Hudson. Churchill first met Roosevelt at FDR’s country house at Hyde Park on the Hudson. It is not too much to say that the American dream itself was created and sustained on the Hudson. We familiarise ourselves with an approximately 80-mile long area, the heart of the valley where New Yorkers and others seeking refreshment and solace from concrete jungles have flocked since the Industrial Revolution. When viewed from the water, the Manhattan skyscrapers in their majestic profusion echo the Palisades, the dramatic natural cliffs rising vertically from the water along the west side of the lower Hudson River. Spanning the time between their formation 200 million years ago and the topping on May 2013 of America’s tallest building, One World Trade Center, is a story of an extraordinary expansion and respect for life along the shores of the Hudson, an area of such valued natural beauty it is called America’s Rhineland.
