STATEMENT FROM MAYOR DE BLASIO ON CITY COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE VOTE TO APPROVE THE BAY STREET NEIGHBORHOOD REZONING - 100percentbronxnews@gmail.com - Gmail

  “The Bay Street Neighborhood Plan will create a more affordable neighborhood that opens the doors of opportunity to residents from all walks of life. This is about making sure kids who grow up on Staten Island can eventually have an apartment in the borough they love, and about making sure there’s affordable and accessible housing for Staten Island seniors, so they can live independently as they age. This subcommittee vote is the first step in bringing more open space, jobs, 1,300 affordable homes, infrastructure improvements and more to Bay Street. I am grateful for Council Member Rose’s partnership and all she has done to fight for the future of Staten Island.”
