It’s live now at NYCommons.org<http://nycommons.org/>. We are hiring a researcher to add information about each site on the map.

To apply: send resume, cover letter describing what makes you the perfect person for the job, and a summary of how city-owned waterfront properties become privately-owned (yup – it’s a test!) to paula(a)596acres.org by Wednesday, July 5 at 5pm. http://596acres.org/we-are-hiring-a-researcher-for-nycommons-org/
