New York lawmakers have passed legislation authorizing construction of a new United Nations office building on a playground next to its headquarters in Manhattan.

The measure, if signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, would require finding substitute Manhattan parkland to make up for the piece of the Robert Moses Playground that would be lost.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
