  After initial research on existing land use, demographic, and economic conditions of the neighborhoods, in January 2019, Borough President Brewer, Department of City Planning Director Lago and Council Member Chin announced the start of the community engagement process. The goal of the engagement is to deepen understanding of existing neighborhood conditions and needs of the people who live, work and create in SoHo and NoHo, and encourage an informed public dialogue that is focused on neighborhood priorities and planning strategies for the future of the two neighborhoods.

  Attendees will work together to:
  

  • Review and consider strategies to improve quality of life
  • Discuss tools, options, and strategies to further the community priorities identified throughout the engagement process
  • Brainstorm additional ideas and strategies
