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.

City to Vote on Wage Battle at Kingsbridge
KINGSBRIDGE ARMORY
BRONX COMMUNITY DISTRICT 07

December 8, 2009

The City Council was set to vote on the living wage debate over the proposed Kingsbridge Armory Mall on December 8th, 2009. Bronx Borough President, Ruben Diaz, Jr. (D), will not support the project unless workers are guaranteed at least an hourly wage of $11.50. The developer argues that this mandate will hinder the project.
