The weather is no obstacle. The Four Freedoms Park Conservancy is excited about having you and your park love on hand on this special day. Just two years ago, the weather was miserable as volunteers put together the first round of Adirondack chairs.

The Budget Knew Before the “Emergency”

The Budget Knew Before the “Emergency”

RIOC anticipated a $7 million Steam Plant demolition for 2015. Nine years later, New York City used emergency authority to carry it out.

The demolition began on paper long before the City invoked emergency authority to carry it out. In RIOC’s fiscal 2013-14 budget, the Corporation set aside $7 million for fiscal 2015 for the complete demolition and cleanup of the Roosevelt Island Steam Plant. RIOC called that figure its worst-case scenario, meaning the State corporation might be left responsible for the entire cost.
