Overview

• The funding builds on an earlier $51 million allocation and leverages the city’s 10-year capital plan to overhaul the corridor’s aging recreation infrastructure.
• The project will deliver roughly 100,000 square feet of new indoor and outdoor facilities, including an aquatics complex at the former Tony Dapolito Recreation Center, a rec center at 388 Hudson Street and the Hudson-Houston Plaza.
• Partnership with the Keith Haring Foundation will restore and integrate Haring’s 1987 Carmine Street Pool mural into the redesigned pool complex.
• The package allocates resources for the development of affordable housing units along Clarkson Street to support neighborhood residents.
• Procurement for the Hudson-Houston Plaza begins immediately, and the city plans to select a developer for the 388 Hudson Street recreation center by early 2026.
