Brooklyn Community Board 6

Data Dashboard & App

If you’re here, there’s an excellent chance you care about community. This dashboard is meant to put information in a helpful context. If you know me, you know I had to include breakdowns of elections by CB6, the other 17 community boards across Brooklyn, and the other 58 community boards across the city. It also includes 311 reports, what BKCB6 is reviewing, land use, landmarks, liquor licenses, bikes, buses, where rents rank, the budget, quizzes and more. This is a very much living doc, or dashboard, so check it out and let me know what you think.

Gowanus Rezoning

The Gowanus neighborhood underwent a major rezoning in 2021 — one of the largest in NYC history — affecting roughly 82 blocks. The rezoning allows for significant residential and mixed-use development along the Gowanus Canal and surrounding streets, while also including affordable housing requirements, environmental remediation commitments, and infrastructure investments. CB6 played a central role in the public review process.

Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan

Full Vision Plan PDF ↗

The Brooklyn Marine Terminal (BMT) is a 165-acre former port site on the Red Hook waterfront, transferred from the Port Authority to NYCEDC in May 2024.
