Good news! There is now funding to build 3 new public schools in (or near) Downtown Brooklyn in the latest Capital Plan. The bad news is that a huge challenge remains…finding suitable sites to build them. With so much development going on in the area the School Construction Authority (SCA) just can’t compete, so the SCA recently issued an appeal to developers to consider including a school in all future projects.
And the SCA wants your help too! They rely on tips from neighborhood residents who may know of large buildings and lots for sale or lease (or about to hit the market.) All options will be considered and leads investigated, so if you have any ideas please email them to: sites@nycsca.org
