Save Greenpoint, a local activist group made up of Greenpoint residents, who according to their website “expect the revitalization of our waterfront to be responsibly site-specific in scale and scope,” are hosting a Rally for Greenpoint tonight, September 4, 2013 from 6-7pm at Barge Park Playground (Commercial St & Dupont St) in order to “FIGHT THE TOWERS!”
According to their Facebook invitation, “40 story towers threaten the future of Greenpoint. The community has been shut out of the process. This is your chance to be heard.”
See you tonight, Greenpoint!
I am completly against building towers or skyscrapers in Greenpoint, NY.
Only in New York are so many people against development.
Really? I don’t know if that is true. I don’t think it’s development in general. It’s development that doesn’t in anyway respect the current community and the character of the area. Brooklyn isn’t Manhattan. Even though it is beginning to look a lot like it. See Kent Ave.
