A Changed Landscape

It’s no longer a theory, a plan or a proposal. After more than a dozen years of controversy, with residents repeatedly foiling city officials determined to build a water filtration plant in the Bronx, the city has finally gotten its wish. While three lawsuits are still pending (see cover story), contractors are well into their work of excavating dirt and rock from the former Mosholu Driving Range in Van Cortlandt Park. The project is expected to take at least seven years. Here are some images from the initials stages of transformation from parkland to filtration plant.
