Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue is set for significant redevelopment, with a plan to introduce approximately 4,600 new housing units, of which about 1,900 will be affordable, following approval by key City Council committees. This initiative aims to address the city's housing scarcity, generate around 2,800 jobs, and enhance community infrastructure through $215 million in funding. Local Councilmembers have expressed strong support, emphasizing the need for such development to combat the ongoing affordability crisis affecting residents. Further reviews by the City Planning Commission are pending before final approval.
Tens of thousands of families are being driven out of our neighborhood and city by an affordability crisis caused by housing scarcity. We are taking on that challenge.
After more than a decade of advocacy, Central Brooklyn is finally getting the community-led rezoning it has demanded.
The investments tied to the rezoning include a comprehensive redesign of Atlantic Avenue focused on major intersections and bike safety.
