CB5 Hearing a success
Posted at 10:17 AM on 11-9-07 by Rob T Firefly
We are excited to annouce that despite various minor setbacks, last night’s Community Board Five hearing was a resounding success for us. The Board’s resolution to designate the Hotel Pennsylvania as a landmark was passed by an overwhelming majority.
Many thanks to all who attended, and all who couldn’t be there but have contributed otherwise to the Save the Hotel movement. The fight is not by any means over, but a major battle has indeed been won.
The proceedings were filmed, and many of us have stories to tell of that night. Stay tuned to SaveTheHotel.org, 2600′s Save the Hotel forum, and this site for updates.
