Below
are the drafts of the Chinatown Working Group (CWG)
Working Team proposed “Action Plans” (PAPs) and
Study Area(s). These have been refined with the feedback from
the February 1st, 2010 Town Hall Charrettes and subsequent brain-storming
sessions. Four Working Teams
have presented final proposed plans to the full CWG, the Community
Boards and have received approval, while others have indicated they
need more time before making final proposed Action Plans to the full CWG.
The 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,
conducted public hearings
on the proposed PAPS and Study Area(s) We have posted updates and revisions here and
have listed meetings in the
Calendar on the home page, so that all interested parties may
attend.
Please note: the CWG has not yet determined all official Action
Plans and/or Study Areas. Official CWG positions are be determined when the entire CWG membership votes on final
revisions.

CWG PLANNING
CONSULTANT Preparations In April 2010, the Chinatown Working Group (CWG) received a
$150,000 grant from the Lower
Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) to hire a planning
consultant to assist with our
comprehensive, community based 197a Plan. The NYC Economic
Development Corporation
(NYC EDC) was designated as the fiscal conduit.
In August 2010
discussions were entered with the Fund for the City of New York as an
alternative
fiscal conduit.
In July 2010, the Full CWG approved a proposed "Scope of Services" and
"Scoring Matrix" as the
basis for hiring its planning consultant:
