Speak Out On The Rezoning, Wednesday June 3
Ward Dennis, NAG board member and chair of CB1's land use committee, is urging those who can to attend the next hearing about the contextual rezoning at the City Planning Commission:
Note: The DCP website gives the time as 10 am. Sorry for the confusion.
The City Planning Commission hearing for the Greenpoint/Williamsburg contextual rezoning is next Wednesday, June 3rd. There have been a few new developments that warrant our attention. 1) the Marino Tile building development on Graham Avenue (across from the CB1 offices) is trying to vest a 12-story tower; 2) another tower currently under construction on Franklin Avenue is trying to vest as many floors as possible; and 3) someone has been posting fliers in Greenpoint trying to get homeowners worked up over the zoning.
Given all this, it is particularly important that the community gets as many supporters as possible out to the hearing next Wednesday. The message is simple - the rezoning is important, and it should be done as quickly as possible.
Please come out and testify next Wednesday. The hearing starts at 10:00 am, and will be held at 22 Reade Street (corrected) in Manhattan (two blocks north of City Hall, near the Brooklyn Bridge 4/5/6 and Chambers Street J/M/Z subway stops.
Note: The DCP website gives the time as 10 am. Sorry for the confusion.

its the devloper who has been posting. Many people locally arten't aware of the monstrosity trying to rise on franklin becuase its currently low - CB1, if it really did act for the community, would be posting its own flyers all around Franklin letting everyone know what the developers intend
According to the website of the Department of City Planning, the meeting is on June 3 at 10AM (not 10:30) at 22 Reade St (not 23 Reade St).
