Yankee stadium update

Goodman and the BID support the stadium deal — which would also come with affordable housing and space for retail — but believe the football club should pay property taxes. They sought to build not only a soccer stadium but also retail space, affordable housing and a hotel on the parking lots and other real estate, steps away from Yankee Stadium. One piece of the puzzle is a proposal from EDC to rework a year lease covering five parking garages and eight parking lots on city-owned land.

The company running those lots defaulted on payments to bondholders a decade ago, after far fewer vehicles used the pricey parking spots than projected. Under a new proposed deal, developer Maddd Equities would take over some parking lots — including sites on the Harlem River — while working with the community to figure out future development there. That proposal was scheduled to go to vote in late June with local Community Board 4 and the Bronx Borough Board, which is a body consisting of the Bronx borough president, Council members and community board chairs.

Levine, a former deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani, railed against the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio — and this summer declared the stadium as good as dead. We delayed the… vote to give both parties more time to resolve their issues. Levine and the Yankees declined to comment. And she says the Yankees need to do better by The Bronx.
