A new look for a venerable commercial and cultural strip in Bed-Stuy
It was a proud day for residents and politicians involved in the long standing Bedford- Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation. On September 10, the hard work and long hours paid off as “Restoration” cut the ribbon in celebration of the completion of the $20 million renovation along Fulton Street, upgrading the once-decrepit community area.
Among those in attendance were local Councilmember Al Vann, BSRC CEO and President Colvin Grannum and commissioners from various city agencies.
Attracting new businesses and making a more aesthetically pleasing hub was the message during the ceremony. “This neighborhood revitalization project will not only provide Bed-Stuy residents with an opportunity to enjoy the neighborhood’s beauty and culture, but will also provide housing, business opportunities and shopping destinations for the people of our community and its visitor,” said Grannum.
