Two Trees rendering
The Office of the Kings County Borough President will be holding a public hearing today regarding Two Trees’ Dock Street DUMBO Project. The building has supporters who claim that affordable housing and a middle school make that project worthy while opponents say that the structure will be out of scale with the neighborhood and would block views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Have an opinion? Want to be heard? It’s put up or shut up time tonight:
