Davis, RPA Deborah Van Steen The Louis Berger Group, Inc. New York, New York February 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is seeking discretionary actions in order to facilitate the redevelopment of a nine-block area known as Broadway Triangle, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The Proposed Action includes zoning map amendments to generally rezone the existing M1-2 Manufacturing District to Residential and Commercial Districts; zoning text amendments to establish Inclusionary Housing in the proposed R6A and R7A zoning districts; the disposition of City-owned properties; Urban Development Action Area Projects designation; the modification of an Urban Renewal Plan; and City Acquisition through eminent domain. The Project Area encompasses approximately 31 acres and is generally bounded by Flushing Avenue to the south, Throop Avenue to the east, Lynch Street to the north, and Union Avenue, Walton Street, and Harrison Avenue to the west. As part of this action, the HPD is undertaking an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Broadway Triangle Redevelopment Project. Consideration for cultural resources, including both archaeological and historic architectural resources, must be undertaken as part of the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) process.

The Pfizer/Broadway Triangle Redevelopment Plan builds on that tradition, proposing to use its sites and buildings as a catalyst for change, transforming the Triangle into a equally vibrant 21st Century mixed-use district providing a range of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities; housing choices; and shopping, recreation and community facilities for its residents and workers, that will be both attractive and sustainable. The goals of the Pfizer/Broadway Triangle Redevelopment compliment and give concrete form to Mayor Bloomberg’s strategic plan for the city: PlaNYC: A Greener Greater New York.

    CITIZENS COMMITTEE FOR NEW YORK CITY 2020 Annual Report CitizensNYC We are ALL IN for New York City #Allin4NYC 30 East 125th Street, #189 | 212 989 0909 | citizensnyc.org New York, NY 10035 A LETTER FROM OUR CEO On March 16, 2020 I had the profound privilege of 0 taking on the role of CEO at CitizensNYC. In a year like no other I’ve seen how the citizens of this city continue to fill in the gaps, often where federal and state institutions fall short. We are a village of small business owners, activists, artists, and community gatekeepers improving New York City neighborhoods, and in this moment of crisis we believe we as a city must trust grassroots leaders, support them, and give them the right platforms to thrive. 2 Think about what access to food and water— necessities that many of us take for granted, even in a pandemic—looks like in a community that was already struggling before COVID-19 invaded our neighborhoods. In response, CitizensNYC quickly mobilized its resources to focus on the immediate needs of struggling New Yorkers. We established two unrestricted grant programs focusing on the city’s hardest-hit communities, with an emphasis on keeping 0 struggling businesses afloat, and meeting urgent community needs such as access to food, water, and financial resources. As one of the nation’s oldest micro-funding organizations, CitizensNYC provides support to community leaders on the front lines of change in their own neighborhoods. But we’re so much more than grantmakers. Most importantly, we are a communications platform for those whose voices are 2 often drowned out—or who never got a chance to speak at all.

The annual dinner, hosted by Southside United HDFC-Los Sures®, brought together families from the various backgrounds and ethnicities that make up Williamsburg. As North Brooklyn undergoes extreme gentrification and the cost of living drastically increases, working parents find it harder to provide food and other resourcestheir families. With this issue in mind, Los Sures® has continued the tradition of serving a free community dinner every year close to Thanksgiving Day. This year, Los Sures® gave away over 100 frozen turkeys so that families would be able to take them home and prepare them on Thanksgiving Day. “Bringing residents together is vital to creating a sustainable and understanding community,” said Iris Minaya, Community Organizer at Los Sures. “We hope that the turkeys that we give away will help families celebrate thanksgiving individually Southside United HDFC - Los Sures® staff and volunteers serving Thanksgiving dinner.
