CB2 denies zoning amendment for proposed hotel next to the Merchant's House

News via Instagram tonight from the Community Board 2 meeting ... where the Board denied the necessary zoning text amendments that the developers of a proposed 8-story hotel needed to build next door to the landmarked Merchant's House Museum on Fourth Street. (Find more background here.) Next stop on the review tour: The Manhattan Borough President's office ... and eventually before City Council, who has the final say.

CB2 voted:developer’s application DENIED!! Now on to the Manhattan Borough President! Thanks to the droves of #merchantshouse supporters who showed up tonight and to those who send support from afar - and thanks to our good friends at CB2! #onaroll #dontmesswithgertrude
