We’re heading out for a sneak peek of the new Governors Island! Members are invited to join us on Tuesday, June 11 at 6:15 p.m. for an exclusive, behind-the-fence tour of the construction site soon to open as the heart of Governors Island’s new park and public space. With the project’s first phase nearing completion, this extraordinary site in New York Harbor has been transformed into a visionary public landscape with 30 new acres of park, key visitor amenities, and 21st-century infrastructure. Led by representatives of the Trust for Governors Island and the West 8 design team, this after-hours tour will explore the new park space and provide insight into the collaborative design and construction process. We have just 30 spots available for this members-only event, so RSVP now to [email protected]. Ferry departs from the Battery Maritime Building. Full event details available at http://ow.ly/lghDo.
