Community Driven Planning

This project is a community driven planning initiative that will result in a greening plan for the industrial area of Greenpoint. 

We will be holding workshops for residents, business owners, and property owners to collectively develop a plan that will reduce stormwater that pollutes Newtown Creek and create vegetated areas that will improve air quality and aesthetics for residents and workers alike. 

The project is funded by the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.
