  • NYCHA Collection
    Learning Places Spring 2016 LIBRARY / ARCHIVE REPORT Laguardia’s Wagner Archives - NYCHA Collection Jessica Samide 04.11.2015 INTRODUCTION The class met at Laguardia Community College outside of the Wagner Archives. The purpose of this visit was for the archivists to educate the class on NYCHA projects relating to Urban Renewal in Vinegar Hill. We broke off into two separate groups and each group sat down with an archivist who provided us with photographs. The photographs were not of Vinegar Hill, but they were of similar housing projects from Manhattan that were built around the same time. After the archivists discussed the photographs with us, we were taken into the space where they store their content. Lastly, we met with a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador who gave a presentation on editing wikipedia and how to post citations. PRE-VISIT REFLECTION The trip to the Wager Archives will be focused on gathering information on the New York City Housing Authority, which is an organization the was founded in the 1930s. Because the focus of my project is from the l880s until about 1915, the information that will be gathered is not very applicable to my research. However, I am still looking forward to learning about the various NYCHA projects. I may even be able to make connections on how the events of the time period that I am focusing my research on has led to the creation of this organization. SOURCES found 1.

  • Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard by C
    Reinventing the Brooklyn Navy Yard By C. J. HUGHES OCT. 30, 2015 The 300-acre Navy Yard has 7,000 people employed in 330 companies tucked away in structures amid rusting cranes and cannons. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times The area by the Brooklyn Navy Yard can seem forbidding. Hulking warehouses line Flushing Avenue, a wide and busy street that hugs the yard for 16 blocks, while the yard, a massive former military complex turned manufacturing center, is almost totally enclosed by tall fences and walls. “It’s literally like working in a federal prison,” said Chris Terrell, a wine importer who stores his bottles at the yard and must venture past its security checkpoints. But the vibe will be less harsh going forward, as major steps are being taken to reinvent the area, part of the Wallabout neighborhood. Across from the yard, developers are putting the finishing touches on Navy Green, a $146 million housing complex with market-rate and affordable apartments being built on the site of a former Navy brig. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, the nonprofit entity that manages the city-owned facility, is removing some of the walls that have isolated the Navy Yard from the community, while adding a supermarket, a food hall and a park that the public can use. The new Navy Green housing complex will have market-rate and affordable apartments. Pablo Enriquez for The New York Times “It’s to send a message that we’re not turning our backs on the community,” said David Ehrenberg, the development corporation’s president and chief executive.

  • People-Powered Strategies to Build Community Resilience Case Studies
    People-Powered Strategies to Build Community Resilience Case Studies Collective Purchasing Farragut Food Club: NYCHA Farragut Houses, Brooklyn, New York In April 2019, the USDA enabled Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants to select and pay for their groceries online, during a two-year test initially launched in New York State. Through a six-month process with Enterprise Community Partners, the residents of the Farragut Houses in Fort Greene, Brooklyn designed a new model for affordable and convenient access to groceries for low-income families and negotiated community benefits such as waived membership fees, reduced order minimums, delivery, and additional promotions. Enterprise, in partnership with the Fund for Public Housing and NYCHA, raised $400,000 to start program design and site selection in 2019. The Farragut Houses in Dumbo, Brooklyn was selected, and by October 2018, recruitment of residents began to participate in the co-design of the project. The team negotiated with Amazon, Western Beef, and other fresh food delivery services for benefits agreements that gave Farragut Houses residents the ability to use their SNAP benefits online, have their groceries delivered at no cost, and save numerous hours per week that were previously dedicated to grocery shopping. The residents themselves designed the process by which they would receive the bulk groceries and store them in an on-site community center. They also organized the process for grocery pick-up or delivery to residents who were participating in the program. The success of the pilot program rests in the ability of resident leadership to: 1. Enroll their neighbors in the SNAP online program​.

  • BATTLING for BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L
    1 BATTLING FOR BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L. Schneider Introduction Anthony C. Wood Preservation in New York City has achieved such a level of success that it risks being taken for granted by new generations of New Yorkers; a fate that could translate into a future of unnecessarily lost buildings and disfigured historic neighborhoods. December 2009 saw the designation of the city’s 100th historic district and 2010 marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of New York City’s hard won landmarks law. Preservation in New York certainly has come of age. Contributing to the possibility that future New Yorkers may misguidedly assume preservation is now the city’s default policy position (tragically ignoring the cold reality that the blood of most New York powerbrokers still races at the mere mention of real estate development) is the fact that preservationists have largely failed to tell their stories of the often heroic efforts required to save the city’s landmarks and historic districts. One wonderful exception to this is the story of the saving of Brooklyn Heights. Thanks to the prescience and dedication of those involved in this battle, the struggle to save Brooklyn Heights is the best documented of all New York City’s preservation sagas. Today we are fortunate to have available to us extensive newspaper accounts from that time, numerous original documents, oral histories and personal remembrances. If only the same could be said for other significant chapters in preservation’s history. Thanks to Martin L. Schneider, we now can add to the existing material on Brooklyn Heights, this compelling narrative “Battling for Brooklyn Heights.” Told through the eyes of a witness to history and capturing the emotions of one who lived through it, Mr.

  • Existing Land Use / Description of Neighborhoods
    2. EXISTING LAND USE / DESCRIPTION OF NEIGHBORHOODS The following section includes a discussion of the existing land uses in the Downtown Core and Overall Study Areas of the DBSTCS. The Core Study Area encompasses the heart of Downtown Brooklyn, and the Overall Study Area includes a number of discrete neighborhoods, each with their own identity, characteristics, and transit options. The land uses within each of these neighborhoods are inextricably tied to their transportation needs. It is therefore important to understand the land uses within the Study Area because the size, diversity, and locations of its neighborhoods, as well as the built characteristics within each neighborhood, impact the travel demand within the Study Area. Figure 7 shows the Core Study Area and the nine surrounding neighborhoods that make up the Overall Study Area. The following overview of the Overall Study Area discusses each neighborhood in clockwise order from the north. Figure 7 - Overall Study Area and Neighborhoods Task 6: Draft Existing Conditions Report 23 2.1 OVERALL STUDY AREA Fulton Ferry / DUMBO / Vinegar Hill Fulton Ferry/DUMBO/Vinegar Hill is the area to the north of Downtown Brooklyn generally bounded by the East River to the north, Navy Street to the east, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) and High Street to the south, and the Brooklyn Bridge overpass to the west. Fulton Ferry (sometimes called Fulton Landing) lies where the foot of Old Fulton Street meets the waterfront. In the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge, this neighborhood contains a range of land uses, including residential (in converted loft buildings) and commercial (restaurants and local retail) uses; there are also a few vacant lots and vacant former service stations.

  • Waterfront Greenway
    BROOKLYNWATERFRONT GREENWAY a plan for community boards 2 & 6 DRAFT 02.01.05 Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway will be a safe, landscaped, off-street route linking people to the waterfront, nature, neighborhoods, workplaces, and history, providing a means for healthy exercise while promoting the revitalization of Brooklyn's waterfront. About the Authors This plan was produced by Brooklyn Greenway Initiative and Regional Plan Association. Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is a local greenway advocacy and planning organization established in 2004 specifically to build and sustain the political, public, civic, and government partnerships necessary to create a continuous 14 mile waterfront greenway from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge. The Greenway Initiative grew out of earlier efforts by the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway Task Force to support the 4.7 mile Brooklyn Waterfront Trail proposed by the City in the Columbia Street and Red Hook neighborhoods. Regional Plan Association (RPA) is an independent, not-for-profit regional planning organization that improves the quality of life and the economic competitiveness of the 31-county New York-New Jersey-Connecticut region through research, planning, and advocacy. In the 1996 Third Regional Plan, A Region at Risk, RPA identified the New York/New Jersey Harbor as one of 12 region-shaping open spaces. RPA sees the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway as one of the key investments the City and State must make in order to realize the full potential of the harbor and its adjacent communities. Funding This conceptual plan was prepared for the New York State Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program with funds provided under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund with the sponsorship of the Brooklyn Borough President's Office.
