Sounding the alarm over violations during Waste Transfer Station construction
Just one week after they hand-delivered a batch of signed petitions against the proposed Southwest Brooklyn waste transfer station to City Hall, a trio of local leaders unveiled a bevy of new photos taken by local residents that, they say, paint a pretty ugly picture.
“This is an outrageous environmental injustice that must be taken down,” said Assemblymember William Colton, who has spearheaded the fight against the waste transfer station for quite some time and started a Neighborhood Watch initiative that urges community members to look for and report any violations happening at the construction site.
He, alongside fellow advocates District Leader Nancy Tong, Councilmember Mark Treyger and newly elected Congressmember Daniel Donovan, presented the photos at a press conference, held on Wednesday, September 2 in Colton’s Kings Highway office.
