| | Community leaders cool to P.S. 234 expansion idea |
 | | Bob Townley, executive director of Manhattan Youth, a non-profit organization that runs after school programs at P.S. 234 and other schools, said that the center would become the anchor community amenity, and he declined to comment on the possible school expansion. |
 | | Olsen said that the large scope of the planned projects near P.S. 234, and the resulting pressures on the local infrastructure, mean that the developers should help fund both the community center and the P.S. 234 addition. |
 | | Madelyn Wils, chairperson of C.B. 1, said that P.S. 234 has found ways to accommodate its expected enrollment this fall, but she stressed that long-term solutions would still be needed to alleviate the overcrowding. |
