Council Okays Rezoning for Inwood Neighborhood
The City Council has voted overwhelmingly in favor of rezoning a 59-block area of Northern Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood. With 43 members voting for the plan, one opposing and one abstaining, the rezoning now goes to Mayor Bill de Blasio for his signature.
“The approval of the Inwood neighborhood rezoning means a fairer, stronger future for a community that has experienced decades of disinvestment,” said de Blasio. “It means affordability, security, and opportunity for residents and new immigrants alike.”
Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez, whose district includes the rezoned area, called the plan “an important first step in strengthening our community, and an opportunity to bring many of the resources we currently lack in our neighborhood. We have secured over $200 million in public funds for new commitments in our community. In the next five years, we will create, preserve and protect over 5,000 affordable housing units.”
