The Gowanus Rezone is Dirty Politics

STAY INFORMED: 

From our good friends over at The Gowanus is Dirty:
"

"20,000 NEW NEIGHBORS,
22-STORY TOWERS"

"The Gowanus Rezone is Dirty Politics"

We here at CG CORD agree completely!  Please visit The Gowanus is Dirty website and print out a poster or sign 
for your home or car window!
Scroll Down the Page to see the Free Posters and Signs to Print 

  And please read and learn the startling and disturbing facts about this potentially devastating rezone! 
And last but never least:
 Please SHARE this information with your neighbors and community friends in this neighborhood. 

"The rezoning plan will allow for at least 10 new residential towers to be built along Bond and Nevins St., each up to 22 stories high, with four times as many expensive luxury apartments as affordable ones. These towers will likely bring at least 20,000 new residents to our neighborhood, DOUBLING the population of Gowanus, destroying the liveable neighborhood we know and love forever."  LINK

ALL of us who reside and work in the Gowanus vicinity need to get informed NOW!

Thank You.

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
