It’s been reported that the state is ready to provide $175 million in subsidies, rather than $350 million as previously discussed, to build the platform over the Vanderbilt Yard. Is that a cut in proposed subsidies or just a new sequence? Either way, do the funds cover the first of two railyard blocks, or both? How much might be sought, in total?

Unofficial rendering, revised to suggest taller B9 and B5 towers. Also, the taller Site 5 tower on the right is 775 feet tall, and the shorter one is likely around 450 feet tall. The rendering’s angle suggests the latter dwarfs the tapered 512-foot Williamsburgh Savings Bank tower, at far right.
