The Community Task Force on NYU Development was convened by the Borough President in the fall of 2006, as a working group of elected officials and community groups with the goal of working with New York University in creating a campus plan that balances the needs of the University with those of the Community for harmonious long-term growth.

The Community Task Force with  Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer and NYU President John Sexton have, together, initiated planning principles, announced in January 2008, that will be developed into a fully realized university urban planning policy promoting symbiosis with neighborhood character through an open, community-based planning process.

CommUNITYnyc is integral to this process.  Its task is to share information, promote dialogue and encourage innovation as a public portal to this endeavor.  It is, in all senses, a work in progress.
