Arrow Action is a community-based group. We live in
Windsor Terrace, South Slope, and Kensington. We came together a couple of
months ago when we learned that Arrow Linen Supply Company on Prospect Avenue, between Prospect
Park West and 8th Avenue, wants to develop massive 13-story mid-block luxury
towers.
Arrow Linen has applied to the city to rezone the block––allowing it to sell its property to a developer for maximum profit and then
leave.
This drawing is copied from Arrow Linen’s proposal.
If Arrow Linen gets permission to build these towers, greedy
developers will do the same everywhere we live.
We have better ideas. We want AFFORDABLE HOUSING. We do
NOT want high-priced high-rises.
Arrow Linen has hired lobbyists and lawyers…. We are organizing.
We are meeting with our elected officials to share
feedback from our neighbors and make our goals clear. We would like to see a
housing plan that creates community-based housing that works with our
neighborhood, not luxury towers.
Please join us. Go to https://arrowaction.org/
to sign our petition, join our mailing list, and get meeting updates. See
our ideas, city planning information, and Arrow’s proposal. Come to our next
community meeting at Holy Name of Jesus, Shepherd's Hall, listed above.
Please contact our City Councilmember, Shahana Hanif. She
is central to what is actually built. See our website for suggested messages. Contact her at 718-499-1090 / district39@council.nyc.gov /

Let Councilmember Hanif know that we want housing that supports our
neighborhood, not high-rises that enrich landowners.
