If it’s an actual restoration you wouldn’t need a design plan.

Tom, would need "a plan" for permits, right? Could be a restoration plan (i.e. Not a design plan) but at least would need to show areas proposed to be disturbed, etc.

Not much grapevine action right now. Maybe Colin Sheehan has some deets.

Yale's voluntarily paid property taxes account for half of New Haven's municipal revenue. I suspect the city won't be too demanding.

Colin-They have continued to offer up greater payments as time marches on and voluntarily as you indicated. There has been a tremendous amount of strife over the years between the city and college as it pertains to union issues and property taxes so it’s nice to see Yale throw in more than is required by state law. The level of cooperation between the two has always depended on the whims of the sitting mayor of New Haven and the current president of Yale.

Town/gown relations have been pretty good of late. What acrimony there is strikes me as often as not as politically expedient preening to respective constituencies. Beyond property taxes, the school has made immense educational and employment investments in the city as a concerted choice to respond to the darker days of the 80s and early 90s with investment, not divestment. It's become somewhat of a model for similar initiatives everywhere, both as voluntary PILOT and more broadly. The pandemic sparked some tensions and the city still has unfunded pension liabilities that it will ultimately probably get some support on, but it's a far cry from the icy relationship at the start of the twenty years of Levin-DeStefano cooperation post the Prince murder.

Yale is the third highest taxpayer behind United Illuminating and Winstanley.
From Yale University:
Yale spends over $700 million annually directly on New Haven. This includes compensation to New Haven residents who work at the university and many programs and initiatives that we support throughout the city. Yale University’s $13 million voluntary payment in FY21 to the City of New Haven was the highest from a university to a host city anywhere in the United States and Yale continues to be among the top three real estate taxpayers in New Haven due to its Community Investment Program.
Yale makes numerous other contributions to the city of New Haven. For example, the university commits significant resources to support New Haven public school students as co-founder and primary funder of New Haven Promise. Yale contributed $4 million this year to cover full tuition at any public university in Connecticut for eligible New Haven public-school students. Last year, Yale and its employees made over $3 million in charitable donations to New Haven nonprofits and the United Way Campaign, to the direct benefit of New Haven residents. Yale further contributed $1.5 million to the Yale Homebuyer Program, which offers Yale employees $30,000 to purchase homes in New Haven. Yale supports initiatives such as the New Haven Works jobs pipeline program and Market New Haven.Yale is also New Haven’s largest employer, with nearly 14,000 faculty and staff. Through its New Haven Hiring Initiative (NHHI), Yale has hired more than 1,000 New Haven residents into full-time positions (bringing the total to 4,000). For FY20 staff, academic, and construction hires have resulted in 239 total hires, with 86 from Neighborhoods of Focus. The NHHI graduated two Gateway Learning Cohorts and launched the 3rd cohort in August 2020. Yale recently made a significant contribution to support the new Stetson Library in the Dixwell Avenue neighborhood; our medical school sponsors free clinics; our law school offers pro-bono legal advice; and our architecture school designs and builds homes for the economically disadvantaged. Yale students volunteer throughout the city, providing tutoring, mentoring, tax preparation, ESL classes, and food pantry services to the city’s residents.Yale’s Pathways to Science programming provides extensive STEM outreach programming to New Haven youth. August was National Black Business Month, and the university-sponsored radio ads on WYBC to increase the visibility of the Black-owned businesses in Yale properties and throughout the city. We are continuing to sponsor this initiative through the holiday season. The university also hosts many events for students and families throughout New Haven, such as our monthly community breakfasts and our extensive educational outreach programs, and we regularly attend Community Management Team meetings to listen and engage with our neighbors.Yale University values its relationship and partnership with the City of New Haven. We play an active role in supporting our community and are regularly engaging in discussions with the city to address ongoing challenges, including COVID-19. At the start of the pandemic, Yale moved swiftly on several fronts to support the New Haven community, and will continue to do so through a growing number of initiatives and programs. These efforts are some of the ways Yale is working with the city to get through this crisis together. Our Yale Community for New Haven Fund was established to address the local impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and has, since March 2020, distributed over $2 million to local nonprofits to support New Haven residents negatively impacted by the pandemic. This includes $250,000 to New Haven Public Schools to purchase Chromebooks for New Haven students. During the spring and summer, the university provided 1,800 free room nights, including free food and laundry services to New Haven first responders.
