After contentious battle, Fortis officially closes on LICH site in Brooklyn
After a wrenching multi-year legal battle and amid ongoing community discontent, Fortis Property Group has officially closed on the site of Long Island College Hospital (LICH).
“Today’s closing marks an important step forward,” Fortis spokesperson James Yolles told the Brooklyn Eagle on Friday.
“We look forward to refining our redevelopment plans over the next couple of months through our work with Councilmember Lander, other local elected officials and stakeholders, and the broader community,” Yolles said.
