The recent transfer of the Island from the Federal Government to the State/City Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) and the National Park Service has provided the first public access to the island in over two hundred years and a singular opportunity to incorporate an Island that few people know into the public life of New Yorkers and the nation. The Governors Island Park Planning Workshop seeks to determine the future of parkland on the island.
