Yes, dear reader, just in time for the holidays, the busiest time of the year: The "Gowanus Green" Draft Environmental Impact Statement Scoping Session. Gowanus Green is the name of the proposed housing development on the highly toxic Public Place site.
Thank you to C.O.R.D. for letting the community know by sending out an email.
How about our public officials? No emails or notices from any of them. Community Board 6 sent out the info just yesterday.
How can the community give comments or feedback on the proposal for Public Place if it has not been properly notified and given access to the environmental document in a timely fashion? And all of this the week before Christmas. How many local residents will realistically have time to study the document and show up at the hearing?
Pardon me for asking. but could the timing be any more convenient?
So, again, thanks to the members of CORD. From their email:
To: Elected officials and community groups surrounding the Public Place site
From: Gowanus Green Partners
We wanted to remind you that a public scoping meeting for the Gowanus
Green proposal (aka Public Place) will be held on Tuesday, December
16, 2008, at 5 PM at Brooklyn Borough Hall, 2nd floor auditorium (the
Court Room), located at 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201. HPD
is the lead on the proposal. The environmental documents are
available for download on the HPD website at:

We hope you will join us at the scoping session and provide your
thoughtful comments and feedback on the proposal there, and in writing
until January 23, 2009.
