Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn Advisory Board Member receives "genius grant"

%20nottage.jpgDevelop Don't Destroy Brooklyn Advisory Board Member Lynn Nottage was one of 24 recipients of the MacArthur Foundation $500,000 fellowship grant, frequently referred to as the "genius grant."

From the AP, via MetroNY:

Lynn Nottage, 42, playwright, Brooklyn, N.Y. Nottage's works include "Crumbs from the Table of Joy," "Mud River Stone," and the prize-winning "Intimate Apparel," a story of a young black seamstress in the early 20th century.

NoLandGrab: Of course, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there are some very serious problems with Bruce Ratner's controversial historically dense megaproject, otherwise, WE wouldn't be here.

Congratulations Lynn!
