The Eminent Domain

While Kingsbridge waits for the big news — which developer will EDC select to revive the Kingsbridge Armory? — let’s catch up on a few recent stories of interest:

A Norwood News editorial reflects on a survey from Councilmember Oliver Koppell finding ample evidence of school overcrowding in District 10, contrary to the Department of Education’s conclusion that no new schools are needed at the armory site.

Also on the schools front, City Limits told the inside story of how schools disappeared from armory plans.

And where has the New York Times been on this important story? The armory redevelopment, transforming a site about half the size of Columbia University’s Manhattanville beachhead, got 280 measly words in the City Section (a sequel to a brief story last year).
