Judy Stanton, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Heights Association, was recently named one of the fifty most influential people “who have shaped Brooklyn neighborhoods” by Brownstoner, which noted:
Judy Stanton, head of the Brooklyn Heights Association, has been particularly effective in her role guarding the tony neighborhood. As one insider put it, Stanton “does change things when she gets involved in a particular building (like reducing the height of the 20 Henry Street addition); a particular project … I don’t want her against anything I do.” Stanton lobbied the Department of Education hard to build an annex for P.S. 8, and her backing of Brooklyn Bridge Park in the face of opposition from another local neighborhood association is said to have helped shepherd the plan through the lawsuit years.
Congratulations, Judy, and keep up the good work.
