Gowanus Plan

"Building a real recovery for our city requires forward-thinking investments that prioritize equitable growth, particularly in affluent neighborhoods that have not historically been asked to provide their fair share of New York City’s growth. The Gowanus Neighborhood Plan passed by the City Council today represents a positive step toward that vision. It will create thousands of units of affordable housing, new open space, critical investments in schools and transit, and much more."

— Eric Adams

ASH ON THE CANARY ISLAND OF LA PALMA: A fissure wa ASH ON THE CANARY ISLAND OF LA PALMA: A fissure was seen next to a house covered with ash on the Canary island of La Palma, on Wednesday. A fissure that volcanologists believe spouted a gusher of lava left a gaping hole in front of the house whose bottom floor was completely covered by a mountain of ash. On Wednesday, a fresh stream of lava from a volcano on Spain’s La Palma threatened to engulf a parish church that has so far survived the eruption that shows no signs of relenting in its tenth week.
