BROOKLYN FOCUS: Defending our Community
Here are some events from Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn:
Monday, November 26, 1pm. Say No to Eminent Domain Abuse. Spector Hall, 22 Reade Street. Manhattan. Special Public Meeting
New York City Planning Commission
This Monday, November 26, the New York City Planning Commission will hold a special public meeting to vote on Columbia University's proposal to expand onto 17 acres of West Harlem. The plan would use eminent domain against thriving businesses, like Tuck-It-Away Storage and Hudson North American, who have invested in West Harlem for years and do not want to sell. We encourage you to attend the meeting and tell the Planning Commission that you oppose the use of eminent domain for private gain.
Show your support for the West Harlem business owners! You can also find out more at these two websites: www.westharlembusinessgroup.com and
