Stringer Criticizes Harlem Development Project
By Staff Reporter of the Sun | July 3, 2008
The president of Manhattan, Scott Stringer, is accusing the Bloomberg administration of circumventing the land use review process to push through a mixed-use development project in East Harlem. "With no developer selected, it is impossible to determine whether the proposed dispositions meet the highest achievable public good, which should be the standard when disposing of scarce public resources," Mr. Stringer said in a letter entered as part of the review process. He said he does not support the city's plan for a mixed-use development project proposed for a multiblock site along East 125th Street, because the process has lacked transparency.
