Monday March 6, 2023 / Virtual Town Hall with US Army Corps of Engineers

 

Dear Colleagues and Neighbors,

 

Please join us this Monday evening for an important virtual town hall discussing resiliency proposals by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for Gowanus and Red Hook in the September 2022 NYNJ Harbor and Tributaries Study (HATS). As you may be aware, the current deadline for public comment on these proposals is March 7. This town hall is an important opportunity for community members to discuss their concerns with USACE directly as they formulate their comments. In order to permit community members more time to comment, Rep. Goldman and Rep. Velazquez have formally requested that USACE extend the deadline for public comment to the end of this month.

 

We hope you will be able to join us in learning more and offering feedback to USACE on their proposals impacting our communities. We would also be grateful for your help in letting community members know about the town hall. Information is below and flyer is attached. 

 

WHAT:        Rep. Dan Goldman and Brooklyn CB6 Virtual Town Hall with US Army Corps of Engineers

WHEN:        Monday, March 6 – 7:00-9:00 PM

REGISTER:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_A4cnFAg8TTGzKfoEDfu5VQ

Thank you, and we hope to see you virtually on Monday!

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........
