The Coalition was formed in 2012 with the objective to represent, and advance various interests of and impacts upon, the Roosevelt Island Community throughout the full range of activities associated with the planning, development and implementation of the Cornell-Technion campus on Roosevelt Island. Throughout this process, RICC intends to be a voice for the continued assessment of actual and potential impacts upon the community and its organizations. Further, RICC will encourage the fulfillment of Cornell's verbal and written commitments to the community.
