Union Square Partnership

In an interview with NYN Media, Julie Stein, AICP reflects on her first year as Executive Director of Union Square Partnership and discusses the future our team is working towards for Union Square. 🌿“Union Square Partnership’s mission is to make Union Square the leading live, work, play, and learn neighborhood in New York City. But BIDs are really about community care. It's about neighbors getting together to invest in our common spaces to achieve the best outcomes for our residents.” 🌿 “[What would I do if I could wave a magic wand over Union Square?] Union Square has tremendous fundamentals. Its location, its transit accessibility… It’s a mixed-use district that has a lot going for it. If I could wave a magic wand… it would be modernization of our public realm, preserving all the things that we love about the park and the neighborhood, but making it feel like a modern, 21st-century public space. That would be transformational in terms of people's experience. It would be transformational in terms of the cycle of economic development, attracting high quality retail tenants and getting to full occupancy. ” 🌿 “As we celebrate 40 years, we are doing critical work to best position USP and the district for the next 40 years. We're laser-focused on advancing the Union Square Vision Plan so we can transform the public realm. We're looking forward to working with our public partners and private partners to make progress on critical district projects.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eFuy4HR7
