A Manhattan community group has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the city’s landmark rezoning of Midtown South, alleging the outgoing Adams administration and city planning officials violated state environmental law and New Yorkers’ constitutional right to a healthy environment.
The Midtown South Mixed-Use (MSMX) plan permits residential development in 42 blocks spanning between West 23rd and 40th Streets and Fifth and Eighth Avenues. Over 2,800 of the planned 9,500 residences would be rent-regulated affordable units.
