HARLEM?It looks like it's time to ratchet up the pressure to approve the rezoning of 125th Street. Today, Community Board 11 sent out a press release announcing a $1.4 million deal reached in mid-March with Vornado over its Harlem Park building that will include Major League Baseball's cable network as a tenant. The money will be divvied up for things like job training and streetscape improvements. The rezoning got conditional support from Community Boards 9 & 11 and conditional disapproval from Community Board 10. Per an email from Community Board 11, which approved the deal with Vornado: "The development team was looking for community support for an amendment to the New York City Department of City Planning’s 125th Street Corridor Rezoning Plan."
