Lincoln Road wins Greenest Block Prize again

The Greenest Block Prize goes to Lincoln Road in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This is the second win for residents on Lincoln Road, who were informed of their win this morning. Residents won the award the first time three years ago. Lincoln Road beat out nearly 200 blocks and won the top prize this year. Blocks are judged on color, total visual effects and citizen participation. The variety and care of the plants are also taken into account. A panel of more than 20 judges visited the contestants from mid-June through July.
