Lower East Side Plan Emphasizes Resident Participation

Newman named model city director and a four-member staff to represent the neighborhood. An advisory committee will form as headquarters move to the Brassco Tech center, while the goal is to raise incomes, reduce unemployment, curb crime, and improve housing, education, and public services through targeted programs and private partnership.
