Every New Yorker Is Welcome on Columbia Street & Everyone Is Welcome in New York.
3 easy ways to shape your neighborhood's future
We have a chance to shape our neighborhood for the better. Don't miss out on your chance to let the city know that you care about living in a vital, diverse neighborhood.
Here's how to make sure your voice is heard:
- Read up on the latest project proposal via the EDC, the Cobble Hill Association, and The New York Times.
- Fill out the Cobble Hill Association's survey, and let them know that you think Brooklyn should be for everyone.
- Attend the Red Hook Community Meeting meeting on Monday, February 3rd at 6:30pm.
The city plans to build 7,000 - 9,000 units to help address Brooklyn’s housing shortage on the underused portion of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal. We are excited about how this plan will benefit the Columbia Waterfront District: it promises more businesses and amenities with high-paying jobs, waterfront access, expanded green space, and a more vibrant, diverse neighborhood.
Some of our neighbors are concerned that this will “destroy” the neighborhood (which is what someone probably said about their home a few decades ago). But that’s shortsighted: Brooklyn is becoming out of reach for too many people, and only more housing can solve that. We believe this plan will enrich our beloved neighborhood and reflects the values of the great city we all chose to live in.
