Dear PlanNYC Users:
Thank you for visiting PlanNYC.
As of July 7, 2010, we have suspended daily news updating on this website, and will not be adding new developments or policy and legislative debates.
PlanNYC, a student-run website based at NYU’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, has proudly served New Yorkers for five years. During that time, the growth of online information on land use and development issues, along with advances in technology such as RSS feeds and news alerts, have created many opportunities for New Yorkers to stay informed about housing and land use debates in the City. As a result, the daily news updating on this site has become less unique and less critical to our users.
We are pleased to keep the existing PlanNYC content online as a resource; all content on the site is current of July 6, 2010, but will not be updated after that date.
We hope you continue to use the data and research available at the Furman Center (which you can find at www.furmancenter.org), and we welcome your ideas and suggestions for how we can continue to provide objective information and analysis about land use and housing policy debates in New York City.
For additional information or questions, please email furmancenter@nyu.edu.

Business owners on Second Avenue, where construction on the Second Avenue Subway line has been ongoing, are asking Mayor Bloomberg to support state legislation that would give them relief to the economic strife that they say has been caused by the construction. They say that about half of the businesses in the construction area between 91st and 96th Streets have closed down and that remaining businesses have seen significant profit losses, prompting lay-offs of employees and potentially more closures. The legislation, if passed, would give $4 million to the Second Avenue businesses to help them attract more customers.
