I’d like to illuminate the fact that the Kingsland Wildflower project is on a roof of one of the buildings owned by Broadway Stages, they also provided matching funds for the project.
Your publication has been vilifying them heavily for the last couple of months, and ignoring the good they have done in the neighborhood and the support they continue to provide to the people of Greenpoint.
It would be nice to give credit where it is due. Thanks.
