GREENWICH VILLAGE?NYU will be moving ahead with certifications and approvals for its NYU 2031 expansion plan in early 2012, so Community Board 2 is mobilizing the local troops. The community board will be holding five public hearings on NYU 2031-related topics throughout January, on the 9th, 10th, 12th, 17th, and 18th. The Community Action Alliance on NYU 2031 will be hosting a separate meeting on January 4. We will be questioning the commitment of any NYU opponent who attends fewer than five meetings.

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN?Speaking of NYU, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and State Senator Daniel Squadron are among those still in favor of a city-sponsored NYU-Polytechnic science campus at 370 Jay Street. And they'll be rallying in support of said campus, along with local community and business leaders, at 10:30 tomorrow morning. We recommend video flyovers as a more effective persuasion tactic.
