BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY BOARD TAKES ACTION TOWARD PARITY FOR EMPLOYEES OF AUTHORITY AND CONSERVANCY; TESSA HUXLEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF BATTERY PARK CITY PARKS CONSERVANCY DEPARTS

NEW YORK, July 29, 2015 – The Battery Park City Authority Board voted today to restore the years of service lost by Battery Park City Parks Conservancy employees at the time the Conservancy joined the CIRS pension and to ensure Conservancy employees receive retirement benefits in line with those Authority employees enjoy. The Authority Board also announced the upcoming departure of Tessa Huxley, current executive director of the Conservancy.

“Battery Park City has achieved its preeminent status because of the ongoing work of the Conservancy and its incredible staff with the full support of the Authority,” said Battery Park City Authority President Shari C. Hyman. “On behalf of the entire Battery Park City Authority and BPC Parks Conservancy, we gratefully acknowledge Tessa’s performance and dedication to her work, and know that the innovative processes she has institutionalized over the past quarter century will continue” she added.

“Tessa leaves behind a seasoned and valuable staff led by T. Fleisher, Bruno Pomponio and Abby Ehrlich,” said Ms. Hyman. “Their devotion to maintaining the parks of Battery Park City in an environmentally conscious manner, and to providing dynamic programming, has made the parks a magnet for all New Yorkers. My pride in them, and in what the Conservancy and Authority have accomplished, is enormous”.
