Library officials met with blunt questions, cautious support at Brooklyn Heights meeting
Affordable Housing Component to Be Built in Clinton Hill
Brooklyn Public Library officials and developers were upbeat at a Monday night meeting that provided some new details on the plan to sell and develop the Brooklyn Heights library branch.
A number of local residents expressed scathing criticism of the plan, however, and urged the library and its Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to consider the impact of yet another residential tower on Brooklyn Heights’ already-overcrowded elementary school, P.S. 8.
Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) CEO Linda Johnson was joined by David Kramer of Hudson Companies, the developer chosen through the RFP process, and Jonathan Marvel of Marvel Architects. Marvel will be designing the building on the site where the library currently stands at 280 Cadman Plaza West.
