The state agency that never makes a mistake apparently forgot what they posted in August: “Please be advised that the RIOC Board of Directors meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, September 2nd, 2021, has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 5:30 PM at the Cultural Center Theater (548 Main St.).”
So, we’re back to Zoom on line.

Who Does This?
At the June 18 meeting of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation’s Real Estate Development Advisory Committee, President and Chief Executive Officer B.J. Jones acknowledged that there had been no progress finding a tenant for the long-discussed medical space on Main Street. Hudson/Related Realty LLC had told him that filling the space, along with other vacant storefronts, was proving more difficult than expected.
