Rising rents in Fort Greene have forced an entrepreneur group that
helped turn around the neighborhood to close. Women Working and Winning
for the World (4W) Circle of Art and Enterprise opened in 1991, when it
paid $2,000 a month for rent at 704 Fulton St. Now, it was asked to pay
nearly $5,000 a month in 2008. “We feel we were a catalyst, sparking
the renaissance in Fort Greene,” said Selma Jackson, director.
