Please Write a Letter and Attend the LMDC Hearing
We face a real threat that the Garden could be razed for construction, but we can stop it with your help.
Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) is considering a grant to New York City Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for an affordable housing project at Elizabeth Street Garden.
- Write a letter now.
- Attend the LMDC hearing on Thursday, Sept. 17.
- Share this message with your neighbors and friends, especially those who live in the neighborhood, and ask them to write a letter and attend the hearing too.
