What's at Stake
The development of nearly 50 story towers is significantly different from 12 story towers. The towers, nearly 4 times taller than zoning allows, will likely take more than 3 years to build, in contrast to the year it would take to build the current 12 story zoned maximum. And that’s if nothing gets held up - or changed! For an elementary school student, we’re talking HALF of their early education - if the massive project suffers no set-backs.
