State Attorney General allegedly investigating group handling Community Benefits Agreement money

According to DNAinfo, the West Harlem Local Development Corporation, the shadowy group charged with distributing $150 million from Columbia to benefit Manhattanville, is about to hear from the authorities.

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has allegedly launched an investigation into the group handling Columbia's cash, after a number of politicians and neighborhood figures expressed alarm last week at the organization’s lack of transparency regarding its expenditures.
