The Fight for Sunlight is back, and we are asking for your support. ☀️ Developers have applied for a new rezoning at 962–972 Franklin Avenue to allow for the construction of a 14-story tower on six lots just 350 feet from BBG. Because of its size, scale, and proximity to the Garden’s most sunlight-sensitive resources (BBG’s conservatory, greenhouses, and nursery, where plants for the entire Garden are propagated), BBG opposes the rezoning. Borough President Antonio Reynoso will hold a public hearing at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Tuesday, July 16, at 6 p.m. to evaluate the new zoning application and we are calling on the community to join us there. It is crucial that the Garden’s supporters voice their opposition to the proposed rezoning before Borough President Reynoso makes his recommendation. You can help BBG by coming to the hearing and giving testimony or submitting written testimony in support of preserving the current zoning to protect BBG! Find details and see tips on providing testimony at the link below.
