Gowanus Plan

"Building a real recovery for our city requires forward-thinking investments that prioritize equitable growth, particularly in affluent neighborhoods that have not historically been asked to provide their fair share of New York City’s growth. The Gowanus Neighborhood Plan passed by the City Council today represents a positive step toward that vision. It will create thousands of units of affordable housing, new open space, critical investments in schools and transit, and much more."

— Eric Adams

SEARCH FOR MYSTERIOUS NOISE IN BROOKLYN HEIGHTS TU SEARCH FOR MYSTERIOUS NOISE IN BROOKLYN HEIGHTS TURNS INTO A MASSIVE CROWDSOURCED INVESTIGATION: The noise started at the beginning of November. It was described by residents of north Brooklyn Heights as a mechanical chirp or a high-pitched, repeating whirr. Some thought it was a car alarm; others, a motor noise. It had a strange way of seeming to move around the neighborhood depending on where you stood. Whatever it was, as it continued nonstop for days, and then weeks, it slowly drove people crazy.
