NYC wants Wyckoff Gardens residents to offer advice on upcoming NYCHA development
Not all tenants on board with Brooklyn’s first ‘NextGen Neighborhood’
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) on Wednesday said it is seeking residents to join advisory committees at Wyckoff Gardens in Boerum Hill and Holmes Towers in Manhattan, the first two sites to be tapped for Mayor de Blasio’s NextGen Neighborhoods initiative.
Stakeholder Committee members will represent their neighbors and work with developers who will be building on unused property at the housing complexes.
NextGen Neighborhoods is the city’s 10-year plan to get NYCHA’s financial house in order. Over the years, NYCHA has accumulated $17 billion in unmet capital needs and the agency operates in chronic debt, according to the city.
