Save the Inlet Community Meeting
2026-01-08 18:00 - 20:00 | Greenpoint Library, 107 Norman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11222, United States
Dear Inlet Protectors: In preparation for the January 20th Community Board hearing, we will host another gathering for supporters of Bushwick Inlet Park to learn more about this process:

Save the Inlet Planning Meeting
Thursday January 8th, 2026 6pm
Greenpoint Library (Environmental & Education Center)
107 Norman Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11222
Please RSVP.

Last week at the hearing where the City Planning Commission certified the application to start community review of this rezoning application for the land next to Bushwick Inlet Park, planning commissioners raised concerns about the proposal to take parkland, to narrow the mandated waterfront esplanade, to build enormous towers right up against the park, and to allow luxury housing unaffordable to the local community. Doubts have already been raised about this plan by government. Let’s talk about it.

Our many perspectives, experiences and expertise united together will be a formidable force in saving the inlet, Bushwick Inlet Park and our neighborhood.

Join us at the January 8th Planning Meeting to keep the momentum going.
