Brooklyn Heights Blog reports that at a Wednesday meeting of the Community Advisory Council to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the council voted in favor of a resolution pushing for the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation to have its consultants “study potential revenue generating ideas and expense reduction options, including fundraising/sponsorship opportunities and options involving the Watchtower properties.” The resolution follows similar recommendations from Community Boards 2 and 6 about future funding for Brooklyn Bridge Park in the wake of a report the corporation released regarding possible funding solutions for the park that do not involve housing. The possible sources of revenue examined included things like creating a park improvement district that would charge fees to nearby businesses and property owners.

Minard – thanks! You do a pretty good job of keeping it real yourself. Keep up the good work.
They are, IJ- although I lived in that area for years I never got a really good look at the buildings. They are beautiful.
Love these buildings. Let me in.
amazing! someone who knows what he is talking about.
Thank you Donald.
Lalala – I am not sure about each and every BH resident but the BHA supports the housing and hotel developments, as designed and approved, as the primary source to fund park operating expenses. The Brooklyn Bridge Park Defense Fund, a coalition of 14 different neighborhood groups which the BHA is not a part of, opposes housing as the source of funds.
eh… i dont know. okay ill be flat out honest. i dont like rich people, in particular the upper “middle class” (as if that even exists…) and i dont like poor people who have nicer things than me. call me a hypocrite, i mean i did myself!
*rob*
“i must be one of those hypocrites.”
Oh look, rob- I am going to agree with you.
rob, you are not a hypocrite, you just find it difficult to coordinate all your multiple personalities.
there are medicines for that.
