The East Harlem waterfront is getting a major $350 million makeover, including seven acres of new parkland

We are excited to see the Manhattan Greenway Harlem River project break ground. Completing a missing piece of the Manhattan Greenway, this seven-acre park will reconnect East Harlem to a stretch of Harlem River shoreline that has been inaccessible for decades. Tuesday’s groundbreaking is the result of a seven-year collaboration with NYC Economic Development Coordination, NYC Parks, Langan Engineering, Community Boards 10 and 11, the local arts and cultural community, and East Harlem residents to restore this important piece of the Harlem River waterfront.
