Mayor Eric Adams and the trust that oversees Governors Island have outlined a sweeping vision for its future as an innovation hub for climate education and research and an incubator for bold solutions. Teams from four universities are preparing final proposals, which are due on August 15th.
But a pending lawsuit presents a potential hang-up for those plans and the parties are due in the New York state Supreme Court on Tuesday morning.
“They’re planning to turn the entire island into a research campus,” said Roger Manning, a musician and web designer who sued over the island’s rezoning last fall. “The park turns into a quad. It should stay public as much as possible and low-rise absolutely.”
