Urban Environmentalist NYC: R & E Brooklyn
Gowanus Lounge provides an interview with R & E Brooklyn owners Rolf Grimsted and Emily Fisher:
Q: If you got together with other small business owners in your community what would the hot topics be?Rolf: My number one topic is ways to retrofit and green the existing housing stock. I also have an idea about using tax incentives for building green. If the 421-a tax incentive and 421-b incentives were used for green building, the city would encourage new green building and the greening of existing homes, and we’d reduce our city’s energy consumption.
Emily: The ongoing boom in new development is a big topic, including the discussions on what’s going to happen to the Atlantic Yards site and how can that development potentially benefit our community and businesses?
