  • Chapter 5: Economic Conditions A. INTRODUCTION and METHODOLOGY B. BACKGROUND HISTORY
    Chapter 5: Economic Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY The TSM Alternative and Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would result in a variety of transportation improvements that may affect economic activity in the primary study area. In addition, subway improvements proposed in Build Alternatives 1 and 2 may also affect the secondary area, West Midtown. This chapter examines economic conditions in the study areas, focusing on employ- ment and commercial development. An overview of employment trends in the city is provided as background to a detailed analysis of existing employment by type within zones and neighbor- hoods in the primary and secondary MESA study area (see page 3-1 and Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, “Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy,” for the study area boundaries). In addition, major em- ployers or industries that dominate or characterize the neighborhoods are identified. Following that analysis of existing conditions, changes to employment predicted to occur as part of the future background conditions are analyzed. Finally, each of the four alternatives are analyzed for potential economic impacts, including impacts related to regional and/or local economic conditions, such as development, tax revenues and public expenditures, employment opportuni- ties, accessibility, retail sales, the economic vitality of existing businesses, and the effect of a proposed project on established business districts. This chapter assesses the potential impacts on economic conditions that may occur as a result of the operation of each project alternative. Impacts on economic conditions during constrution are documented in Chapter 15, “Construction and Construction Impacts.” Sources for this analysis include employment figures from the U.S.

East Harlem was not always like ​ ​ this, nor is it like this in the rest of the neighborhood. East Harlem has been notably resistant to ​ ​ the pressures of gentrification. East Harlem has a history similar to that of many poor ​ ​ neighborhoods in New York City but what is at work in today in El Barrio can be understood as the future of New York City, the spread of the supply and demand game among the wealthier residents of the city. Before delving into the role of development in the neighborhood today, we ​ ​ need to understand the demographic history of El Barrio, focusing on the role of community organizations, private and governmental investment, and most importantly the role of housing markets in NYC. ​ 3 Sims Chapter 1: The Evolution of East Harlem Introduction th rd East Harlem is the neighborhood between 96 ​ and 143 ​ streets, sandwiched in between ​ ​ th 1 5 ​ avenue and FDR drive, bordered by Central Park, Harlem, and the Upper East Side.
