Neighbors Allied for Good Growth and the Greenpoint Waterfront Alliance for Parks & Planning have joined forces to become North Brooklyn Neighbors.
We focus on environmental and community planning issues to help North Brooklyn become more equitable, resilient and sustainable.
Our work centers environmental justice & health, land use & public space, and transportation & infrastructure concerns and develops related tools and resources.
We often host workshops, town halls, information sessions, and other events that are open to the community.
Stay connected and up-to-date with our announcements, issue updates, statements and other news.
