    An appeals court clears the Inwood rezoning that covers this library site

    A lower court annulled the City Council's 2018 Inwood rezoning approval in December 2019, after Northern Manhattan Is Not for Sale and other plaintiffs argued the city's environmental review was inadequate. On July 23, 2020, the Appellate Division's First Department unanimously reverses that decision, holding that the review was lawful. The plan includes replacing the Inwood library with a residential building above a new library.

    Ground is broken on The Eliza, a 14-story library and affordable housing tower

    Advocates and officials, including Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez and NYPL president Anthony Marx, gather on the site of the demolished old library to start construction of a 14-story building at 4790 Broadway, named The Eliza for Elizabeth Hamilton. It will hold 174 deeply affordable apartments, a new two-story, 20,000-square-foot library, along with a STEM learning center, a universal Pre-K program, and a community center with a teaching kitchen. The nonprofits CLOTH and The Children's Village lead the project with partners Ranger Properties, Housing Workshop and Alembic Community Development.

The housing is named for Eliza Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton's widow and a longtime Manhattan resident. Community League of the Heights was among the developers.
