Central Pk. aid group axes 30
THE CENTRAL PARK Conservancy pruned some of its staff.
Thirty workers got the chop on May 18 — that’s 8% of the approximately 375 workers on the Conservancy payroll.
The ax fell across all levels, from senior and midlevel staffers to those running programs and interacting with the public, a source told the Daily News.
“We believe these changes will position the Conservancy to continue improving our effectiveness as stewards of the park while serving its over 42 million annual visitors,” Douglas Blonsky, president of the Conservancy, said in a statement.
The Conservancy had a $34 million operating loss in fiscal year 2016.
