Pro Bono Barrister: Will historic Ft. Hamilton shut down, opening a real estate bonanza?
Property prices, like the stock market of late, are getting hotter, especially in Brooklyn. In keeping with the needs of the times, BBA CLE Director Meredith Symonds and her Brooklyn Bar Association team have selected a timely subject for their March 20 session: “Hot Topics IN NYC Land Use.”
The controversy swirling around the LICH “sale” has made many headlines, especially in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, which presented the most consistent and informative articles written by over the past year or so by Mary Frost.
But there may be something new to add to Brooklyn’s property boom mix. Now, another choice parcel of Brooklyn land, the 180-acre historic Fort Hamilton, is being considered for closure by the Pentagon. The issue has been immediately accorded center stage by Republican Congressman Michael Grimm and his likely opponent, former Democratic Councilman Domenic Recchia.
