Statement from Mayor Bill de Blasio On City Council Committee Votes Approving Bedford Union Armory Project

November 21, 2017

"The Bedford Union Armory won't sit vacant any longer. We're putting it back into service for Crown Heights as an affordable community rec center and affordable homes. The end result is one this neighborhood can be proud of. We worked with Council Member Cumbo to hone the project, adding nearly 100 affordable apartments and removing market-rate condos. We look forward to the day the armory reopens it doors as a resource to this community."
