My testimony before New York City Council

Summary of my testimony before New York City Council

The way Governors Island will be connected to the outside world determines what should be constructed inside Governors Island. What could be constructed inside the isolated unconnected Governors Island is profoundly different from what could be constructed inside the expanded Governors Island as a part of Lower Manhattan. The kind of building that could be constructed in Governors Island as a part of Lower Manhattan is comparable and relevant to what is constructed in Lower Manhattan.
The argument about what should be constructed on the unconnected Governors Island is not worth arguing as long as Governors Island can (and will) be connected to Lower Manhattan.
Connecting Governors Island will not only influence what should be constructed on Governors Island but also will decisively shape the new Lower Manhattan. Connecting Governors Island to Lower Manhattan will skyrocket both its national value and its real-estate value.
This is the reason why what interests me at this time is not what should be happening on the ground of Governors Island it is rather what will happen in the connected to lower Manhattan Governors Island.

The endeavor of connecting Governors Island to Lower Manhattan is capitalism in its finest, yet it achieves an economic sustainability equation, Manhattan is in a dire need to achieve in order to upgrade and expand its 100 years old crucial public transit system.
Connecting the expanded Governors Island to Lower Manhattan will secure an expansion approach to expand Manhattan addressing a foreseeable future necessity. It will greatly influence the current WTC rebuilding process.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Ramez A. George
