As reported in the New York Daily News, Commercial Property News, and other outlets, plans have been announced to destroy the Hotel Pennsylvania by 2011. The Hotel Pennsylvania, home of all but one of the HOPE conferences, would be replaced with an office tower.
2600 have set up the email address hotel@2600.com to collect names of any and all involved in saving the hotel.
While passing around said Daily News article at yesterday’s meeting, Emmanuel Goldstein proclaimed that “the gauntlet has been thrown.”
