GREAT NEWS: Mayor pledges $80million to restore 70 Mulberry Street!!!
Mayor de Blasio announced July 2, 2020 that $80 million is being allocated in the capital budget to restore what he called “the beating heart of Chinatown.”
The community spoke through testimonies, emails, letters, rallies, press, social media, and more and… the City heard us! Mayor de Blasio announced July 2, 2020 that $80 million is being allocated in the capital budget to restore what he called “the beating heart of Chinatown.”
“It’s vital that 70 Mulberry continue to be part of Chinatown’s history,” the Mayor said, adding he wants to “preserve every piece of history we can.” The Mayor thanked Council Member Margaret Chin, who went to school at 70 Mulberry, for championing the former P.S. 23.
Many thanks to our elected officials, community board members, and friends of Chinatown who worked hard to get the message across that 70 Mulberry St is worth saving.
We celebrate today, but more hard work lies ahead as demolition is temporarily halted and the City conducts a 90-day ‘community envisioning” process on the future of the site. A preservation assessment and a plan for moving forward is still needed.
Let’s continue to participate in the process of resurrecting 70 Mulberry as the “Heart of Chinatown”
Here is a video of the announcement at the 8’23’ mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14VulnYgnH8
Don’t forget to write to thank your elected representatives, and join us in the next CB3 meeting!
