The highly anticipated discussion surrounding the duration of Madison Square Garden’s “special permit” is set to take place at the City Council’s Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises on Monday. One might want to take cover in the face of what promises to be a heated debate. The Dolan family, proprietors of the Garden, are pushing for an indefinite extension of the license. On the other hand, the City Planning Commission suggests a ten-year renewal, contingent upon the Dolans making necessary updates to the surrounding infrastructure and collaborating with transportation authorities to enhance Penn Station. However, proponents of relocating the Garden argue for a three-year limit on the permit renewal. Numerous elected officials, members of Community Board Five, architects, as well as urban planning and civic organizations, contend that the best way to improve the station is to separate MSG from its current location. While MSG’s initial fifty-year permit expired in 2013, it was subsequently extended for a decade by the City Council. Ultimately, the committee’s verdict must be ratified by the entire Council. Irrespective of the outcome, the dissatisfied party is bound to voice their displeasure.
