CB2 Gives Thumbs Up to Commodore Barry Renovations

At Tuesday night’s Community Board 2 meeting, reports The Local, board members voted in favor of the planned renovation of Commodore Barry Park on the Fort Greene/Downtown Brooklyn border. The ten-acre park, which is located between the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the Ingersoll and Whitman housing projects, is “extremely critical to the community and neighborhood in which it is located,” noted Parks committee chair Andrew Lastowecky. Phase 1 of the project, which would restore the lawn and walkways on the eastern end of the park, is expected to cost $2,300,000 and be completed by next spring.
