April 24, 2019

The Bushwick Neighborhood Plan Update, released on April 24, 2019 by the Department of City Planning, is a draft area-wide plan for the Bushwick community that promotes a long-term vision for the neighborhood that fosters preservation and creation of affordable housing, promotes job growth, identifies neighborhood investments, protects neighborhood character, and channels growth to appropriate locations. The Plan identifies land use, housing, economic development, transportation, open space, and community health and resource strategies. It builds on previous collaborative work conducted as part of the Bushwick Community Plan by DCP, other City agencies, community residents and stakeholders, Council Members Antonio Reynoso and Rafael Espinal, and Brooklyn Community Board 4. See more about the Plan and read the press release.
