  • Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

    press release Oct. 19, 2011, 2:03 p.m. EDT Innovator Educator Jamshed Bharucha Inaugurated as 12th President of The Cooper Union NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art ushered in a new era for the esteemed 152-year-old institution with the inauguration of its 12th president, cognitive neuroscientist Jamshed Bharucha. The ceremony took place in the historic Great Hall on October 18, 2011. The academic procession crossed from the institution's LEED Platinum academic building at 41 Cooper Square to its landmarked Foundation Building. Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament, India offered video congratulations and provided insight into the influence of our global community on education. Frances Fergusson, President Emerita of Vassar College, James Wright, President Emeritus of Dartmouth College and Lawrence S. Bacow, President Emeritus of Tufts University offered their impressions of President Bharucha, lauding his intellectual curiosity, capacity for innovation and ability to lead. Drawing inspiration from the genius of founder Peter Cooper, President Bharucha, standing at the lectern where candidate Lincoln spoke in 1860, pointed to "four areas that stand out as academic challenges and opportunities: fostering innovation, promoting access, serving the public good and embracing a global perspective - while maintaining the highest standards." President Bharucha, a classically trained violinist, joined violinist Andy Stein and other friends to perform selected movements from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 and Mendelssohn's Octet. The award- winning Gallim Dance company also performed. Mark L. Epstein, President of the Board of Trustees, formally invested the new president. Vartan Gregorian, President of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and President Emeritus, Brown University, closed by offering his congratulations.

Battery Park Battery Park is a 25-acre public park facing New York Harbor and located at the southern tip of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The Battery is named for the artillery battery that was stationed there at various times by the Dutch and British in order to protect the settlements of lower Manhattan island. Battery Park was created by landfill during the 19th century. Within the park lies Castle Clinton, a fort named for mayor DeWitt Clinton, and now a national monument. The fort was originally built on a small artificial island, 200 feet offshore, just prior to the War of 1812.

  • Ringwood Manor Iron Complex 1740-1931
    RINGWOOD MANOR IRON COMPLEX 1740-1931 A NATIONAL HISTORIC MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LANDMARK RINGWOOD STATE PARK THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Ringwood, New Jersey September 30, 1978 HISTORY OF RINGWOOD According to existing records, the Boards and Ogdens were the first to mine ore and produce iron at Ringwood. Cor- neluis Board, while prospecting for copper and other precious metals, discovered many outcroppings of iron. He built a forge at what is now Sterling Lake in Orange County, New York; later he bought several tracts along the Ringwood River and in 1740 built a forge here. At about the same time the Ogdens of Newark purchased several tracts from the Boards and formed the Ringwood Company. Evidence is mounting that the Ogdens named Ringwood and that they were acquainted with Ringwood in Hampshire, England. In 1742 they built a blast furnace, thus becoming the first volume producers of iron in this area. The Ringwood Company contin- ued under the Ogdens until 1765 when they sold their properties to the American Iron Company. About one year prior to his arrival here, Peter Hasen- clever had formed a large stockholding company with headquar- ters in London. The American Iron Company had subscribers among nobility as well as members of the royal family in Eng- land and raised at least 40,000 pounds sterling. Upon arriv- ing here in 1765, Hasenclever purchased the Ringwood Company from the Ogdens. Being an aggressive businessman, he acquired several other ironworks in New Jersey: Long Pond (now Hewitt) and Charlotteburg, named for Queen Charlotte. In all, his holdings in New Jersey numbered about 22,000 acres of land.
