I'm excited to have two land use items this month.
0:44:03
Land use item number two forty seven, which establishes Linden Street as a historic district, and land use item two four three, a mixed use rezoning at 1160 Flushing Avenue and Bushwick.

Linden Street, which is a variety of architectural styles from the late nineteenth century, is a rare, well preserved reminder of South Bushwick's past.

In a neighborhood in which so many landmarks have have been lost to fires and gentrification, this designation is cause for celebration.

I wanna thank Landmark's chair Lewis and my partner in Bushwick, Council Member Nurs for their support in pushing this through to a vote.

We are also voting on 1160 Flushing, where the applicant has contractually committed to mixed commercial industrial development in collaboration with our CBO partner, Evergreen Exchange.
0:44:46
This commitment aligns with the goals of Evergreen's North Brooklyn BOA planning study, District 34 land use policy, and priorities established through extensive community engagement and multiple studies within the North Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone.
0:44:59
This area is a vital industrial hub, and the neighborhood must retain its manufacturing uses.

Today, I also wanna acknowledge our summer interns Olivia, Kelly, Jay, and Chris who are also upstairs who are helping us to run this office in this summer smoother.
