"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."

STATEMENT OF BPCA PRESIDENT & CEO B.J. JONES ON THE PASSING OF BOB SCHNECK

“Bob loved this community and cared deeply about its future, especially when it came to addressing our most pressing issues like sustainability, resiliency, livability. Whether it was at public meetings or crossing paths around the neighborhood, he was always eager to offer insights, advice, and recommendations – and did so frankly and with a smile.

“And he was generous in his creativity as well, through photography and written word that captured the spirit of the neighborhood he called home. Our thoughts are with his partner, Cora, and his family and many friends.”
