HFUM Planning Committee facilitated a dialog on rezoning and food in Upper Manhattan on 9/21
|
On September 21 we helped to reconvene the Healthy Food for Upper Manhattan (HFUM) workgroup at the CUNY School of Public Health's new space on 125th Street in Central Harlem.
Tapping into the larger citywide conversation around rezoning, the topic of this meeting was rezoning and food, as East Harlem community leaders and residents move forward in developing a shared vision for the future of East Harlem.
