In case you missed our post about this last week:
"We're hoping to see a diverse group of community members join us," Q Impact Solutions founder Quamid Francis, who led the first discussion on Oct. 25, told EVG. "We anticipate that a plurality of the same information will be covered, as there are no new
significant updates to share at this time. Still, we thought of having another session to accommodate community members who missed the last session during the day." (See our recap post here.)
Speakers include representatives from Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Denham Wolf Real Estate, who will speak on behalf of the property's buyer.
Per the invite:
Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to the cause and neighborhood, this informational session will provide valuable updates. Don't miss the opportunity to connect with your fellow community members and engage in meaningful and collaborative discussions!
The building has sat in disrepair for decades. A new owner bought the property last January.

The new owner bought the property last January so what has been done on the building since then ? An EV post said people were banned from entering the courtyard to take photos because that area was still unsafe so even this dangerous condition has not been changed.
The group of activists who "saved" former PS64/Charas want to restore Charas to what it was before the building was sold. An arts and activism center sounds great to me.
My letter mentions CHARAS and was published by the NY Daily News on 2/9/2025 Stay local
Lake Havasu, Ariz.: In the past, the Daily News reported on many issues that were important to people living in various neighborhoods in and around NYC. One good example of this is the ongoing fight over the former CHARAS community center in the East Village. After many years, the building is still vacant and little has changed in relation to its status. Both The News and The New York Times’ former city section used to focus on news that area residents care about. I believe this would expand your subscriptions and also benefit the city’s many neighborhoods. John Penley
