Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso has conditionally approved the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan, advocating for stronger tenant protections and deeper affordable housing commitments. The plan aims to revitalize central Brooklyn with expanded housing and job opportunities. Concerns from local residents were considered during public hearings, leading to calls for protections against displacement of long-time residents and businesses. Reynoso's conditions include safeguarding manufacturing spaces and enhancing infrastructure, alongside measures to deepen housing affordability and support existing industrial tenants. The proposal signifies a balance between development goals and community equity.
Reynoso emphasized the need for stronger tenant protections, deeper affordability, and safeguards for manufacturing space, balancing community needs with development.
He recommended that the city explore options for deeper affordability and a new Mandatory Inclusionary Housing option while protecting existing residents from displacement.
