Register for Thursday night's fourth #AtlanticYards public workshop at https://t.co/X7uSvAFaaP, and come prepared having read @BrooklynSpeaks' analysis of @EmpireStateDev's community engagement report.

[BrooklynSpeaks @BklynSpeaks]

Is @EmpireStateDev really going to decide #AtlanticYards #AffordableHousing based on opinions of individuals earning >$150K? That and other important questions in advance of Thursday night's workshop at https://t.co/wUX4e4T83m.

[Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council @phndc_brooklyn]

The #AtlanticYards proposal under consideration by @EmpireStateDev will take years to produce its first affordable apartment. Brooklyn needs the 877 #AffordableHousing units promised to be finished last May now! Please urge @GovKathyHochul to keep the State's commitment.

[BrooklynSpeaks @BklynSpeaks]

@GovKathyHochul must make good on the State's commitment to collect money owed for the missed #AtlanticYards #AffordableHousing deadline. Sign our petition if you agree and help us reach 1,000 supporters! https://t.co/HlQtElQkZx.

Now is the time to learn both from past failures and successes, and ensure we create a reliable path forward for #AtlanticYards. @JabariBrisport @Bobby4Brooklyn @JoAnneSimonBK52 @CMCrystalHudson @CMShahanaHanif @BKBPReynoso

We urge @GovKathyHochul to sign State Senate bill S405 extending preservation tax credits to long-time homeowners who need help maintaining historic houses. @zellnor4ny @JabariBrisport @JoAnneSimonBK52 @Bobby4Brooklyn

The good news is our petition calling on @GovKathyHochul to collect #AtlanticYards #affordableHousing damages now has over 500 signatures. The bad new is the damages now total more than $7MM. If you haven't signed, visit https://t.co/HlQtElQkZx.

Join local elected officials in calling on @KathyHochul to hold developers accountable and fund #AffordableHousing in Brooklyn!

[BrooklynSpeaks @BklynSpeaks]

@EmpireStateDev could collect $1.75MM in damages a month from the Atlantic Yards developers to provide affordable housing—but chooses not to. Sign this petition to let @KathyHochul know this is a commitment you won't forget about. https://t.co/8YhQH7aROM

[Vanderbilt Avenue @vanderbiltbk]

We're thrilled to announce the Vanderbilt Avenue Open Street will be back for our 6th season in 2025! Vanderbilt is a volunteer run program, so we count on your support to make sure it is the best that it can be. Please consider making a donation! https://t.co/VRCFAi2cPM

As we've been fundraising for the 2025 Open Streets season on Vanderbilt Ave, we have received a number of questions about what the program costs and why we need to fundraise. Hopefully this helps! 🧵
