Advocates for the High Line, the West Side’s famed public park, are concerned about major rezoning changes that could negatively impact the neighborhood if a plan to build a casino goes through.
Friends of the High Line , a nonprofit that oversees many aspects of the popular park along with the NYC Parks Department, is asking the Department of City Planning to review proposed rezoning changes put forth by Related Companies, a mega developer that wants to build a full-service “Vegas-style” casino nearby.
The location of concern is an area where the High Line abuts the Western Rail Yard site, which is situated west of Hudson Yards.
