Some of the things happening today:
–This morning at 9 a.m., the Manhattan Borough Board opened a special meeting to vote on the mayor’s rezoning proposals. The body, made up of local community boards and City Council reps, convened at the office of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. Community Board 3 rejected the mayor’s plans last week.
