Please join your neighbors, along with various elected officials and city agencies for a discussion with the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA).

Thursday, February 4, 2010 :: 6:30pm
P.S. 20, 166 Essex Street (at Stanton St.)

Spearheaded by State Senator Squadron at the request of Rosie, the Nightlife Town Hall will give community residents in Community Boards 1, 2 and 3 the opportunity to speak directly to newly appointed Chairman Dennis Rosen regarding nightlife and quality of life issues. Rosie encourages all concerned neighbors to join this important discussion.

The Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA) consists of 10 city-owned sites (6 south of Delancey Street and 4 north of Delancey Street), comprising 7 acres of land. It has sat vacant for over 40 years. Read the SPURA Matters report which is based on a series of Community Visioning sessions involving hundreds of area residents to learn about how the sites could be developed in a way that benefits the surrounding community. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to help start a community-driven process to put the site back into a broadly productive use.

Manhattan Community Board 3 is currently in the process of elaborating a set of principles for redevelopment, and the organizations that are part of SPURA Matters, including the Cooper Square Committee, hope that this report can help guide that process.

As you know, Haiti has yet again been hit with another incredible natural disaster. Haiti already unfortunately suffers from lack of infrastructure, a struggling economy, unnecessary health problems and more.
