According to Geoff Thompson, NYPH spokesperson,  "I  am advised the renewal letter from the Hospital will be included in the package going to the City Council today. I have read the letter and it provides a thorough explanation and updating of the project.  The Hospital will not be making further comment about it."

The renewal request will be the second request for renewal received on the project which has not been officially funded by the state. The first was renewed by the Common Council last year at approximately this time.
