Can Zoning Save the Garment Center?

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Can zoning save the Garment Center?  That was the question batted around a discussion panel we recently attended.  Fashion heavyweights, city planners, Garment Center representatives, and the public, gathered to discuss the future of the Garment Center.  As we have mentioned many times before, zoning (as boring and unfashionable as it sounds) has played a [...]
