-
Attend an important community hearing TONIGHT at the New Utrecht Library, 1743 86th Street, at 5:30 PM, regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Bensonhurst Library and the adjacent municipal parking lot.
 
This project has the potential to significantly alter the character and scale of the surrounding neighborhood, and it is crucial that local residents hear directly from the developers and have their voices heard. While many details have not yet been shared publicly, it is clear that the scope of what is being considered could far exceed what most residents would expect on this site. Projects of this type and size often raise serious questions about building height, density, parking loss, and long-term impact on local services.
 
Your presence is essential to ensure the community is not overwhelmed by a development that may be out of step with the needs and character of Bensonhurst.
 
WHEN: Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 5:30 PM
WHERE: New Utrecht Library
1743 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
 
 
Please share this information with neighbors, family, and friends. A strong turnout sends a clear message that the community must be consulted before any major development moves forward.
