PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER ST. JOHN VILLA CAMPUS,
STATEN ISLAND, DISTRICT 31
NOTICE OF PUBLIC SCOPING MEETING FOR A TARGETED
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMEN
T

On behalf of the New York City Department of Education (DOE), The New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) proposes to create two new school facilities, including an approximately 736-seat primary school (PS) and a shared facility for two, approximately 627-seat intermediate/high schools (IS/HS); and an athletic field with an approximately 700-seat bleacher section on the former St. John Villa campus at 57 Cleveland Place.

The SCA, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed redevelopment of the former St. John Villa Campus (the “proposed project”) may result in a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Targeted Draft Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared. The Environmental Assessment and the Draft Scope of Work (DSOW) to prepare a Targeted Environmental Impact Statement is available below. A public scoping session on the DSOW will be held on Thursday, March 7, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The public scoping meeting will be hosted virtually through Microsoft Teams. Detailed instructions for participation in the virtual scoping meeting are below. The SCA will accept written comments on the Scope until the close of business on Monday, March 25th, 2024.
