City Planning Commission Approves Bedford-Union Armory Redevelopment Plan
Opponents to the plan believe since the project is being developed on city-owned land that all the residential units should be made affordable. While Mayor de Blasio supports BFC’s plan, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Council Member Laurie Cumbo, who represents Crown Heights, oppose it.
Locals argue that the proposed rents for the affordable units, determined by the AMI, aren’t “affordable for the neighborhood.”
