No Land Grab

Business owners in Willets Point explain how their businesses have thrived for decades, despite the City's neglect and regular attempts to take their property, putting their businesses, livelihoods and those of their employees at risk.

Brit in Brooklyn posted the full press release along with photos from last summer's City Hall press conference and rally.

The Willets Point gang is gearing up for a very important hearing this Thursday:

Representatives from the Willets Point Industry and Realty Association (WPIRA), a group of the 10 largest land/business owners in Willets Point will testify before the New York City Council's Land Use and Economic Development Committees on November 29, 2007 at 1 p.m. in the Committee Room, City Hall.
