Signs of renovation life at 100 Avenue A

[Photo from June 13 by Bobby Williams]

Nothing has really happened renovations-wise here at 100 Avenue A since East Village Farm (or Farms, as I like to call it) closed back in February.

The city disapproved the first round of plans to renovate the space, including adding a "dwelling unit" and roof garden on the upper floors.

But!

On Monday, 100 Avenue A reps filed new paperwork with the DOB:

LOWERING OF THE EXISTING CELLAR WHICH INCLUDES FOUNDATION WALLS AND FOOTINGS. NO CHANGE IN USE, OCCUPANCY OR EGRESS.

And at an estimated cost of $175,000.

Well, that's not much, but it is some kind of proof that plans are still in the works to convert the former grocery and theater.

such a waste
they should do something like theater for new city did..

give theater to a non profit and get some air rights to build a skyscraper on top.

seriously i think the neighbor would deal with a 10 or 15 story building in exchange for an awesome theater space there

no the neighborhood would not deal with 10 or 15 stories right on the park even for the most awesome theater space.
