Herrick's Land Use & Zoning chair, Mitch Korbey, spoke to The Real Deal about the Inwood Rezoning as the real estate industry waits for the courts to decide the fate of the 2018 approval.

The article states, "The city has pointed to the numerous public hearings held ahead of the Inwood rezoning’s approval as evidence that it addressed community concerns. It maintains that a racial impact study is not required." The article goes on to quote Mitch saying, "questions over how land-use policy affects community demographics are 'enormously important,' but that environmental impact studies are 'not the place for this hyper-granular dialogue.'"
