At LPC hearing on Prospect Heights Historic District, mention of the Ward Bakery and AY briefly unsettles the mood
Atlantic Yards Report
Yesterday’s public hearing held by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) on the designation of part of Prospect Heights as a historic district, involving some 870 properties, was hardly contentious. Various interested parties, residents, neighborhood groups, and preservationists saluted the LPC for its decision to move forward in designating part of Prospect Heights as a historic district.
One question was what exactly people might say about the planned Atlantic Yards project, the blocks of which were not considered as part of the district.
When neighborhood activist Patti Hagan described paying last respects to the Ward Bakery building, the mood became a bit somber.
