The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation announced

offices will close their doors at the end of this month. The offices,
located at 225 Park Row and 68 Reade Street, have been serving grant
applicants since the launch of the program in June 2002.
Residents

program representatives are encouraged to visit the program offices
