Three Private Property Owners Hold Out in Negotiations
CU Columbia Spectator – Jan 22, 2008
University officials declined to comment on ongoing negotiations. âWhat we are interested in doing is reaching friendly negotiations with the remaining property holders as we have with the almost 40 property holders so far,â Senior Executive Vice President Robert Kasdin said. Whitman, owner of Hudson North American , a moving and storage company located on Broadway between 129th and 130th streets, declined to be quoted since she is engaged in negotiations with the University. The third commercial property Columbia seeks to acquire is the Singh family gas station at 129th Street. Although the owners are not members of the West Harlem Business Group, they have remained steadfast against selling to the University. Business owners and neighborhood residents, including Sprayregen, have repeatedly criticized Columbia for refusing to take eminent domain off the table and have alleged that it creates âan uneven playing fieldâ for negotiations. But Kasdin denies the premise of such accusations and explained, âWe think there are certain circumstances in which requesting the state to use eminent domainâwe ourselves canât use eminent domainâmight be an appropriate public policy decision.
