Landmarks Preservation Commission Hearing on 250 Water Street

The Historic Seaport, birthplace of our beloved City, needs your voice on Tuesday, January 5th
Building two 400+ feet towers at 250 Water Street will bring years of toxic clean-up, noise, dust, heavy machinery, and other hazards with grave consequences for our children.  But at this hearing, the Landmarks Preservation Committee (LPC) wants to hear about your love for the Historic Seaport. 

LIVE TESTIMONY:
What – Landmarks and Preservation Commission (LPC)
When:  Tuesday, January 5, 2021
Time: 10:00 AM (the presentation may take a while, so keep it on in the background and hop on when your name is called!)
Where: links and passwords will be available on Monday January 4th – here - https://www1.nyc.gov/site/lpc/hearings/hearings.page

Please remember to keep comments on how the design, height, proportion, and bulk of the building will overwhelm the surrounding 4 and 5 story buildings. LPC is most concerned with how this proposed building will (not!) fit into the architectural and historical character of the Seaport Historic District.
