At the hearing, MSG associates made the case for why they believe the special permit renewal should be granted in perpetuity, as they did unsuccessfully 10 years ago.
“We can’t plan and build the station with the capacity that the city and the region that we are going to need for the next century with the garden sitting on top of it,” said Robert Yaro, the former president of the Regional Plan Association. Other community board members with their focus on the Penn Station project suggested that the city should only provide a short-term extension to the permit that will allow it to revisit it as it gets further along in its Penn Station planning.
