As a follow up, we now have a recording of the event up on youtube and more information shared below.

The website also has more information about the green features of the building here and a section of digital resources, which includes the Greenpoint remediation reports

As mentioned, you can also take the Greenpoint Repair Shop Survey to provide input on future repair-related programming and potential borrowable tools!
