The article discusses issues surrounding the plan to redevelop the Far West Side of Manhattan, New York, into a new mixed used business district. The city's urban redevelopment project is organized around the controversial proposed stadium and the more broadly supported expansion of the Jacob Javits Convention Center, which occupies a strategic site on the area's Hudson River waterfront. When built together, these two elements threaten to block access to the district's most important asset, the Hudson River waterfront. In addition, controversy over the stadium has the potential to drag down the entire project in litigation and delay. |
