HPD delays announcement for new development sites

Victory Garden

Good news (we hope!)

The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has delayed their announcement of new development sites, most likely due to the Electric Ladybug Garden as well as other community gardens immediately raising the issue.  Information on the HPD program can be seen at the link here.

We began communicating our concerns with our elected officials and other contacts within NYC government beginning last year, after we became a licensed GreenThumb garden, as we anticipated that development pressure could easily become an issue.  We are again actively engaging our representatives to preserve the garden.

We will keep update you as soon as we have more information.  Thank you for your support!
