In Public Service: Councilmember pleased his community getting city attention
Espinal’s district at forefront of affordable housing plan
Councilmember Rafael Espinal and the constituents in the East New York section of his district are pioneers.
East New York will be the first neighborhood to undergo a major rezoning as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s grand vision to build thousands of units of affordable housing throughout the city.
“Our neighborhood is going to be the model. We’re kind of leading the way,” Espinal told the Brooklyn Eagle during an interview at the Eagle’s Court Street offices.
