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 New York
University to create a campus plan that balances the needs of the University
with those of its communities for long-term
stability.
In
January 2008, Manhattan Borough President Scott M.
Stringer and NYU President John Sexton announced
the Task Force's agreement on a set of principles to guide
the University's future expansion. These principles reflect months of hard work on the part
of the Community Task Force on NYU Development, NYU
and the Borough President's Office.
Scott
M. Stringer was sworn in as Manhattan's 26th Borough
President in January of 2006 after serving 13 years
in the New York Assembly, where The New York Times
credited him as having "a sterling reputation as a
catalyst for reform." During his two year in office
as Borough President, Stringer has helped breathe
new life into Manhattan's Community Boards, ensuring
that every neighborhood will have a strong voice in
decisions that impact local residents' lives. He
revamped the Manhattan Borough President's Land Use
Division and effectively weighed in on crucial
development projects that will shape Manhattan's
future. His continued advocacy for development that
reflects neighborhood values has resulted in
victories for local residents from Battery Park to
Washington Heights.
