- It will create over 1,200 higher-paying permanent and temporary jobs, leading to new careers in emerging high-paying industries.
- Community benefits include family-sized units, a youth-focused tech center, a robust community benefits agreement, fresh food access, public space, and infrastructure improvements.
- The project reflects years of dialogue with community stakeholders and has been improved based on feedback.
- It aims to address the exigent housing crisis in Central Harlem while providing substantial community benefits.
