The Governors Island Alliance is a coalition of organizations and individuals working to celebrate the Island’s rich history, create memorable parks and public spaces, and ensure appropriate reuse of the Island and its historic structures. Since 1995, the Alliance has worked to return the Island to the people of New York. Our planning and advocacy helped secure the 2003 transfer from the Federal Government to New York and the National Park Service (NPS), the designation of a New York City Historic District, and a commitment for 110 acres of public open space. The Alliance is now working with the Trust for Governors Island, NPS, and our elected officials to ensure that the upcoming plans for the Island set public access, parks, and historic preservation as primary goals – and that there is funding to make these plans happen. Make Governors Island your Island!
