Don't miss the Gowanus Oversight Task Force meeting TONIGHT, November 14th, at PS 133! During this quarter's meeting, the Gowanus Business Improvement District Steering Committee will be giving its first public presentation on the formation of a BID in Gowanus. The Steering Committee, convened by Gowanus Canal Conservancy, has spent the past three years developing a proposal for a Gowanus BID that prioritizes the needs of local businesses and residents, advocates for a more resilient neighborhood, and creates and cares for thriving waterfronts, parks and streetscapes. The presentation will include details on the proposed services and costs of the BID, if formed. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMQaURW4. There will also be updates relating to open space projects in Gowanus and presentations from the Departments of Small Business Services, City Planning, Parks and Recreation and Environmental Protection. Q & A will follow. Register to attend: https://lnkd.in/efS3PM2R
