Gonna happen unless Bloomy gets defeated. Impact is only in the immediate vacinity b/c of the 'garbage truck line up' to dump. The smell is another issue. I investigated this about a year ago wrt a property on EEA. It's been in a bit of a stall but, the long of the short of it is the Mayor wants it and, it's gonna be A LOT of garbage. Here's a tid-bit I remember from my research...fresh garbage doesn't smell that much, it's rotting garbage that smells and if it's any conselation...the garbage is fresh.
the garbage trucks have been lining up in that neighborhood for years, have they not? I agree that it may be a bluff, but seeing all those trash vehicles in one place is already a downer.
Anyone know what's going on with this currently and the extent to which it could impact prices in the area?
Sorry..am referring to the proposed facility near the Asphalt Green on East 91st and York
Waste transfer station at 90th street correct?

rodents.
Falco...what were your conclusions about stench/inconvenience as it relates to EEA?
curbed has had lots of posts on this topic years ago when posting on curbed was more popular.
I think it's a Bloomberg bluff so he can seem nominally egalitarian, and it'll never get built, and never was going to get built.
