We just wanted to thank all of you who came out yesterday for our first conference at beautiful Brooklyn Borough Hall! It was a big success, with a wide variety of panelists, as well as formal reports delivered by the BWRC’s first two research fellows, Sapna Advani, Director of Planning at Chelsea West Architects, and Jonathan Peters, Professor of Economic at the College of Staten Island.  You can find coverage of the conference by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle website here. UPDATE: visit our Events page for speakers’ presentations, maps, photographs, and reports.

If you’re in the neighborhood, please stop by later for a “Hangout Session” sponsored by the BWRC at reBar (not far from the Navy Yard) from 4 to 7pm today (Thursday, Oct. 27), and continue the conversations started at the conference.
