Join your friends and neighbors for an evening of Song and Good Cheer at the FGA’s
NOV. 13, 2017, 7:30PM AT THE LAFAYETTE AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Side entrance: 85 South Oxford Street (between Lafayette/Fulton Street). Doors open at 7pm.
At our November 2016 open meeting, “Fort Greene & NYC Neighbors Look to the Future,” representatives from Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and New Yorkers for a Human-Scale City discussed some of the pros and cons of high-rise development in Downtown Brooklyn.
The purpose of the Nov. 13, 2017 meeting is to continue this discussion as it relates to this new proposal for 80 Flatbush Avenue - a 74-story building on a full block site bordering Flatbush, Schermerhorn, State and Third Aves. Concerns include the scale of the project as it abuts a low-rise brownstone neighborhood, the blocking of sight lines of the Williamsburgh Clock Tower, and adverse environmental impacts.
See details of 80 Flatbush developer’s plan at www.80Flatbush.com
See Boerum Hill Association’s petition against plan at boerumhillassociation.org
Also on the agenda:
• Fort Greene Park Update: View their two new videos at Friends of Fort Greene Park
• Express Bus Lane on Fulton Avenue Eliminating Parking Spaces
MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD ON THIS AND OTHER COMMUNITY ISSUES.

We've reached a groundbreaking settlement with Devumi for selling fake followers, likes, and views on social media platforms like Twitter & YouTube.
This is the first settlement of its kind to find that selling fake social media engagement is illegal.
