CB2 to vote on Two Trees project next week

Brooklyn’s Community Board 2 is scheduled to vote next Wednesday on Two Trees Management’s proposed 18-story Building On Dock Street in Dumbo, which would include both market-rate and low-income housing, and a middle school. CB2’s land use committee voted the project down in December. Opponents of the project say it will ruin views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the area is not in need of a middle school. Supporters disagree, and say that Two Trees could build a taller hotel or non-residential building on the site without a zoning change.
