What’s New in NYC DEP’s Strategic Plan?
Aqueous Advisors
Pretty sure this is the first time we've posted a link to Aqueous Advisors.
Today, NYC DEP released its 78-page Strategic Plan for 2011-2014, with 100 initiatives. My question here is:
What’s new in those initiatives? What’s announced here for the first time?
Below, I’ve identified the 10 items that were newest to me.
...Initiative #41: Build out and replace critical water mains
DEP will construct new 72″ water mains “to ensure the vibrancy of the Manhattan central business district, support the growth of Coney Island’s amusement district, and make the thousands of housing units and offices at Atlantic Yards possible.” In other words, new condos near the Hudson Yards, Atlantic Yards, and Coney Island will need more water. Will this be paid for by the new development charge in #14?
