Wall Street Journal
A selection committee at the New York City Capital Resource Corp., a local development corporation controlled by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is supporting the federal financing, the Journal reported. "This project would transform a long-vacant site in a vibrant commercial corridor into much-needed hotel and retail space, along with amenities for the community, creating hundreds of permanent and construction jobs," a spokesman for the New York City Economic Development Corp. told the Journal.
A hearing will be held in June, following a formal vote from Capital Resource Corp.'s board, according to the Journal. In order to receive the financing, the $80-million project must start construction by year's end.
