Reminder: Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation Meeting Monday at Noon (12/5)

Reminder: Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation Meeting Monday at Noon (12/5)

No word yet on whether the 7 hotel/housing schemes proposed for Brooklyn Bridge Park with be on the BBPC’s meeting Monday (12/5) afternoon but it would be totally bananas if it wasn’t on the agenda.

The meeting is open to the public and while they may or may not be taking questions, if you’re a fan/not a fan of those proposals or other issues regarding the park it’s a good idea to show up.

The meeting will be held at “approximately” 12:00 PM, at the Corporation’s offices at 334 Furman Street (at Joralemon Street).

Here’s the “anticipated” agenda in PDF form. (Thanks Matt Parker for the link)
