We must raise objections now! Otherwise Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC) will destroy current zoning laws and Historic District protections put in place by our community to preserve this special neighborhood: the birthplace of our city. 

If we don’t act, starting next year - as kids are finally in school full-time working to make up for a year and half of educational and emotional deficits due to the pandemic - HHC will begin the  5+ year construction of two wildly out-of-scale 470-foot tall towers. Peck Slip and Blue School students would be subjected to half a decade of heavy construction on the acre-wide site directly across the street from these schools. Our playstreets, roofdeck playspace and streets will be overrun with dangerous high-rise cranes, construction trucks, and pile drivers; dust, debris and constant noise.  

During this global pandemic, as we work at holding homeschooling, jobs, and our finances together -  Howard Hughes Corporation is lobbying OUR local representatives to get permission to harm our children by throwing out the low-scale zoning laws that govern the neighborhood.  

THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL - YOU CAN HELP OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. Make sure your voice is heard at all community board meetings going forward.
