Hi everyone,
It's been a busy few weeks, and we'd like to catch you up on the latest news:
On April 13, 2026, Arrow Linen filed for permits for full demolition
of their properties. We have been in frequent contact with Council
Member Hanif's office, and there's no current date for when demolition
may begin. Arrow's reps tell
the Council Member that nothing will happen before they move their
operation to another location in Brooklyn.
Neighbors who have spoken with Arrow's workers were told that the operation will be moving to Sunset Park in August.
In the meantime, we are speaking with:
-
The Council Member's office to initiate the Construction Task Force as specified in the Community Benefit Agreement
-
Structural engineers to help neighbors adjacent to Arrow's property with pre-construction engineering reports
-
Construction lawyers to better understand Arrow's financial and
safety obligations during the demolition and construction process
In other news:
Mayor Mamdani's administration has released a housing plan for
Brooklyn south of Prospect Park, which includes a survey where you can
share your thoughts about the affected neghborhoods.
We encourage you to take the survey so your voice is heard:

Best regards,
Jay on behalf of Chris, Jack, Jay, Julia, Kate, Luz, Marty and Steph
