NEW YORK, April 3 (UPI) - New York Gov. George Pataki has agreed to
commit $100 million of state money to a park project on the West Side of
Manhattan that will turn five miles of rotting piers, parking lots and
temporary roads into an emerald necklace. Supporters of the plan tell
the New York Times they believe approval of state funding was the final
roadblock for the $300 million project, which has navigated a series of
community and developers' disputes since it was first proposed 10 years
ago.
