WHITNEY MUSEUM AND CITY REACH AGREEMENT FOR HIGH
LINE SITE
The Whitney Museum of American Art and the New York City Economic Development Corporation have reached a conditional agreement regarding
a City-owned site at the southern end of the High Line, advancing plans for a new art museum to be built at that location. The agreement was reported by Carol
Vogel in today's New York Times. Plans for the new museum must go through the City's public review process (ULURP).
The agreement between the City and the Whitney is an exciting advance for the High Line project. A cultural facility at this location will attract a variety of park users to the High Line and create
myriad opportunities for arts-related programming. With the Whitney and the High Line sharing this iconic site, the intersection of Gansevoort and Washington Streets can become one of
the most dynamic corners in New York City.

DECEMBER 7: PUBLIC FORUM ON THE FUTURE OF THE HIGH LINE AT THE WEST SIDE RAIL YARDS
The High Line is secure from 30th Street south, and construction on Section 1 is underway. But at the West Side Rail Yards, between 30th and 34th Streets, the future of the High Line is in doubt, and
the structure may be fully preserved, altered or removed.
Please join FHL on Thursday, December 7, for a presentation of the High Line's potential at the rail yards and an overview of the public planning process that will decide its future. The presentation will
be followed by a public discussion.
