A Panel Discussion Critical for the Future of the Gowanus Brooklyn Community!

Please see this vital post by well-known community blogger, Katia, Kelly, and register for this critical panel discussion for the Gowanus Brooklyn Community!

The proposed 80 block Gowanus Rezoning is the most consequential issue in our community in the past thirty years. Yet the City of New York seems to be ignoring the many serious environmental issues in Gowanus, as well as trying to restrict local residents' access to a fair and legal Uniform Land Use Review Process.

If you would like to know more about the rezoning and the issues, please join the event below, hosted by Voice of Gowanus.
Read on to learn more, and register for what should be a very informative evening.

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........
