Firefighters are warning that lives could be at risk in New York’s $25 billion megadevelopment

Posted by in category: futurism

  • New York City firefighters are worried they don’t have enough capacity to serve Hudson Yards, a $25 billion, 18-million-square-foot megadevelopment that opens Friday.
  • By 2024, when the development is scheduled to be complete, it could have more than 125,000 daily residents, visitors, and office workers.
  • Unless the city builds a new fire station in the neighborhood, these lives could be at stake, the president of New York’s firefighters union told Business Insider.

New York’s largest private real-estate development, the 18-million-square-foot Hudson Yards, can expect a flood of locals, tourists, and office workers at its grand opening on Friday.
