Below
are the most recent drafts of the Chinatown Working Group (CWG)
Working Team proposed “Preliminary Action Plans” (PAPs) and
Study Area(s). These have been refined with the feedback from
the February 1st Town Hall Charrettes and subsequent brain-storming
sessions. Some Working Teams
have made recommendations to the full CWG regarding their proposed
PAPs and Study Area(s), while others have indicated they
need more time before making their recommendations to the full CWG.
Ultimately, the Preliminary Action Plans and Study Areas endorsed by
the full CWG will serve as the basis for a comprehensive,
community-based 197-a Plan.
Beginning in
April 2010, Manhattan Community Boards 1, 2 & 3, who would be co-sponsors of
the
CWG's 197-a Plan,
have been conducting public hearings
on the proposed PAPS and Study Area(s). We are posting all
PAP updates and revisions here and we list all meetings in the
Calendar on the home page, so that all interested parties may
attend.
Please note: the CWG has not yet determined its official Action
Plans and/or Study Area. The proposals below are solely the
recommendations of its Working Teams. An official CWG position will
only be determined when the entire CWG membership votes on final
revisions later this summer

consultant to assist with our
comprehensive, community based 197a Plan. The NYC Economic
Development Corporation
(NYC EDC) was designated as the fiscal conduit.
In July, the Full CWG approved a proposed "Scope of Services" and
"Scoring Matrix" as the
basis for hiring its planning consultant:
