NYC CM Lincoln Restler and NYC CM Shahana Hanif announced the creation of a dedicated community task force to be led by a paid expert facilitator that will hold City agencies and private developers accountable to enact the expansive community benefits agreement made as part of the Gowanus Rezoning. The facilitator will guide the Gowanus Oversight Task Force, members of which will participate in public meetings, serve on planning committees and work directly with City agencies and policy experts to make sure the promises made to the Gowanus community are realized. Applications to join the Gowanus Oversight Taskforce are due November 30. Reach out to Arvind in CM Restler’s office with questions ([email protected]).
