Proposal to Demolish 9 Bldgs in Historic District

According to the GVSHP, St. Vincent's Hospital and the Rudin Company's plan to demolish nine buildings and construct luxury condos in the Greenwich Village Historic District is precedent setting.  No one has ever proposed a development of this scale in any historic district in NYC. This outrage cannot go forward unless the plan is approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.  The LPC will hold a meeting on Tuesday, April 1 at 9:30 am at the Borougth of Manhattan Community College, 199 Chambers Street to discuss this project.  It is very important for people to attend this meeting and speak against the "appropriateness" of this proposed destruction.  For more details visit http://www.gvshp.org/StVincents.htm
