After more than six years of discussion, debate, and vigorous public advocacy, the threat of permanent loss of sunlight for our living museum of plants is over. We are grateful to our elected officials for their steadfast support and diligent work to craft a plan that ensures the sunlight that plants need to survive, protects the Garden from permanent damage, and enables affordable workforce housing.
We fought for sunlight, and we won. The new plan balances the need for affordable housing while safeguarding the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, demonstrating that urban development can respect natural spaces.
