What Do You Want the Future of East Harlem to Look Like?


Join Community Board 11, CIVITAS, and land use consultants Insight Associates and George M. Janes & Associates to discuss

Land Use and Zoning in East Harlem

Learn how zoning can be used to create affordable housing, promote economic development, and control building sizes and heights. 

Area Considered:
Madison to Lexington Avenues and 115th to 132nd Streets
(excluding 125th Street Corridor)



CIVITAS and Community Board 11’s Zoning Task Force have been working together to plan for the future of the neighborhood and take advantage of new zoning policies. CIVITAS and Community Board 11 have collaborated in the past, including the 2003 rezoning of 99th to 122nd Streets, Third to Pleasant Avenues that brought up-to-date zoning to East Harlem and was one of the first major rezonings of the Bloomberg Administration. 


The discussion will be led by Ethel Sheffer and George Janes, principals of their respective firms, and CB11 Zoning Task Force Chair, Lashawn Henry. 


Monday, July 9th at 5:30 pm
The Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College
Second Floor Auditorium
2180 Third Avenue (at 119th Street)

RSVP to the Community Board 11 Office by calling 212-831-8929
