Council Hearings Starting Soon
The City Council will hold its hearings this morning regarding Willets Point.
Word is both sides of the contentious plan will have people outside rallying before the hearings begin. For full coverage and blogging of the hearing itself, be sure to stay tuned to the Iron Triangle Tracker, where Stephen Sterling will be reporting from City Hall.
Mets Fans, Speak Out Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning is (still) the time that the City Council will hold its hearing on the Willets Point proposal. Supporters of the plan are strongly encouraged to attend the hearing if at all possible.
The City Council vote on this plan is fast approaching, and it is of the utmost importance to let the Council know that people are concerned about the future of Willets Point and would love to see the Mayor’s plan come to fruition.
Council Hearing Could be Postponed
Stephen Sterling continues to be on top of the City Council hearing schedule for Willets Point. He’s reporting today that the hearing, which is tentatively set for Friday morning, could very well be in flux. The thing that could mess up that schedule is the hearing set to begin on Thursday afternoon regarding term limits.
If you’re interested in the whole term limits thing, by the way, be sure to check out Let NYC Vote if you’re opposed to changing them or the message from a Bloomberg supporter.
Regardless of what happens with term limits, if these hearings go very late into the night, I’m sure the Council would push back the Willets Point hearing.
Stephen also reports on the various groups that will be protesting the Willets Point plan or rallying in favor of development.
