CB5 admonishes MBPO and DCP

Sources tell us that CB5 is very unhappy with the decision handed down by the MBPO and DCP and told them so. CB5 states "No such letter was sent. At least not from Community Board Five."


However, CB5 made no secret to their unhappiness during the start of the public hearings of this ULURP project. with a nearly unanimous vote declining the project.

WPIX-TV

We sent a letter to WPIX-TV (Ch 11 in NY) to ask them to do a story on the preservation efforts. We hope to hear back from them soon. In the mean time if you are attending "the next hope" please ask to sign the petition to help us save the Hotel Pennsylvania!

Petition

If you are attending HOPE at the Hotel Penn this weekend, please be sure to sign the Petition to help save the Hotel from being demolished!

DCP votes "Yes" to demolition

The DCP has voted unanimously to approve the 15 Penn Plaza project. We will post more information when it becomes available.

DCP Public Hearing Closed!

Apparently the DCP pulled a fast one on us and already held the public hearing on the Hotel Penn back in May!
