    ReThinkNYC Requests that ReThinkNYC Proposals be Treated as Alternatives to be Studied ReThinkNYC • New York, NY • August,20 2020 Reimagined Penn Station’s Main Hall. Digital Rendering by NOVA Concepts. “The Pennsylvania Station in New York is like some vast basilica of old that towers above the terror of the dark as bulwark and protection to the soul.” Langston Hughes 1. Introduction: ReThinkNYC Requests that ReThinkNYC Proposals be Treated as Alternatives to be Studied 7th Avenue Facade rendering by Jeff Stikeman RethinkNYC submits the following supplemental statement and proposals to their July 20, 2020 preliminary written and verbal submissions which were made in response to the Empire State Development Corps Draft Scope of Work (“DSOW”) and request for Public Comment. RethinkNYC asks that this supplementary submission, which incorporates and adds to the prior submissions(with any changes noted), be read as a unified document. RethinkNYC requests that the proposals submitted today be considered as an “alternative(s) to be studied” as set forth on page 53 of the DSOW. While RethinkNYC’s more specific criticism’s are set forth immediately below, RethinkNYC’s overarching criticism and reason for sponsoring alternatives is that the proposed Empire State Complex fails to sufficiently unlock the potential that a modernized Penn Station and transit network would have on the economy, the region and nation’s ecology, aesthetics, fair housing and accessability to the job market, among many other advantages. While the DSOW acknowledges other infrastructure projects — Gateway, Sunnyside Yards and the Port Authority Bus Terminal — it does not coordinate or harmonize these proposals in a way that maximizes their impacts for the region.

  • 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.

  • Washington Heights Community Directory
    Washington Heights Community Resource Directory New York State Psychiatric Institute Center of Excellence for Cultural Competence May 2008 Community Profile: Washington Heights and Inwood A survey of New York City residents found that people who report having significant emotional distress are more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as getting no exercise, binge drinking, smoking, and eating a poor diet. Similarly, New Yorkers with significant emotional distress experience high rates of chronic illness, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and diabetes. An added difficulty is that neighborhoods in New York with the lowest incomes often have the highest rates of significant emotional distress, often adding to the burden on these already underserved communities (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2003). The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has conducted a number of community health surveys to assess the health and well-being of New Yorkers. Here, we present some of the factors important to the physical and mental health of the communities of Washington Heights and Inwood, to serve as background for the services listed in this directory. Washington Heights and Inwood: The population of Inwood and Washington Heights (I/WH) at the 2000 census was 270,700. More than half of the residents of these communities (51%) were born outside the United States, compared to 36% for New York City as a whole. Figure 1 shows the countries of origin for foreign-born members of Community District 12 (which is made up of Inwood and Washington Heights), while Table 1 lists foreign-born residents by country of origin.
