CB1 Unanimous against R6 Development in Norwood Gardens


Norwood Neighborhood Association thanks Council Member Vallone and LICA for supporting the residents of Norwood Gardens at the Community Board meeting this evening. CB1 stood up for the residents of this community and unanimously voted against continuation of an R6 development under Norwood Gardens's new R5B and R4B zoning.

A few quotes from residents:


"This is an opportunity to prove that the people of Astoria matter"
resident 37th Street

"An R6 construction in Norwood Gardens goes against the will of this community"
resident of 36th Street

"Stand up for what is legal and right in Norwood Gardens"
resident of 36th Street

And the signatures of 90 Norwood Gardens' residents were on the NNA letter opposing the application to complete the foundation and continue to develop and R6 project.

"The developer has known for a long time that the new zoning designation was coming and had plenty of time to get his foundation work done before May 25th"
resident of 37th Street
