BY LINCOLN ANDERSON | Area politicians recently wrote to Andrew Hamilton, New York University’s president, asking for “an update” on what the school plans to do about relocating the Morton Williams supermarket currently at Bleecker Street and LaGuardia Place.
On Nov. 9, the city’s School Construction Authority — after having sat on the option for years — notified N.Y.U. that it finally had decided to build a public school at the market site. Community Board 2 advocated for the school to serve special-needs students citywide.
