Hoyt Schermerhorn Task Force Report

The Boerum Hill Association actively participates in Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz's Hoyt-Schermerhorn Community Task Force. This Task Force was established by then Borough President Howard Golden to encourage community input in the redevelopment of three sites that were under the jurisdiction of the New York State Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC). The three sites front along Smith and Schermerhorn Streets from Atlantic Avenue to Bond Street. Members of this Task Force authored a report to ESDC entitled "Recommendations on the Development and Re-use of the Hoyt Schermerhorn Sites" dated March 30, 1999. Download file

Developers were selected for each site, with two already sold to the designated developer, with the third sale expected to be completed by the spring of 2004. Soon after the developers were selected, subcommittees of the Task Force were established to facilitate ongoing community input with each development team.

The full task force meets on an as-needed basis and subcommittees of each site will meet with development teams as necessary to provide updates and allow input until the projects are all completed.
