The New York City Council is set to vote today on a rezoning plan that could bring 250 new apartments to Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, including 100 permanent affordable units. The project has already passed a crucial hurdle when the City Council’s Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises approved it earlier this month. Now, the full City Council will decide its fate after a final round of discussions.

The proposal is to redevelop the Arrow Linen Supply site on Prospect Avenue, where two 10-story buildings could soon rise. The project aims to provide much-needed housing in a neighborhood that has seen little new construction in recent years. A key part of the plan is that 40% of the apartments—100 in total—would be affordable, which is higher than the 25% typically required for such projects.

In addition to the housing units, the rezoning plan includes several community benefits. These include green roofs, flood protection improvements, and a child care center. The community will also benefit from subsidized space for a domestic violence service provider.

However, the project has sparked controversy in the neighborhood. On Feb. 2, a rally was held by local residents who oppose the plan. They argue that the development will change the character of the neighborhood and increase overcrowding. Some have expressed concern about the height of the proposed buildings, which were initially set to be 13 stories tall but have since been reduced to 10 stories.

Supporters of the plan argue that the project strikes a balance between new housing and important community benefits.

As the full City Council prepares to vote, supporters plan to rally at city hall. The vote today will decide whether the project moves forward or is sent back to the drawing board.
