In a statement from Mayor Bill De Blasio on the Mandatory Inclusion Law regarding affordable housing and Harlem’s Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito stated that:
“Since adopting the nation’s most progressive affordable housing law last spring, the City has already approved developments with 4,500 affordable homes.
Today’s vote for 550 Washington, a project that includes important funding for Pier 40’s Hudson River Park, is a huge win for the community and New York City. I congratulate (Harlem) Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Council Member Corey Johnson and all those who worked so hard to ensure that any new development serves the needs of their community.”
Editors Note: We think Harlem’s piers will be the future of growth of Harlem for the rest of the 21st century.
