Is Concord Village an Island, an Oasis or a Haven?
‘People Who Live Here Feel They Are Part of the Community at Large’
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by Linda Collins
Some residents of Concord Village, the seven-building, 1,025-unit co-op complex at Adams and Tillary streets in Downtown Brooklyn, think of it as an island in the middle of a sea of courthouses, college buildings and traffic.
Others view it as an integral part of the Downtown Brooklyn community and still others see it as a haven. Maybe it’s all three.
...Residents also have concerns about Brooklyn Bridge Park, Atlantic Yards and developments in DUMBO, but the board cannot take a stand on these issues.
“Our policy is if it doesn’t directly affect Concord Village, we can agree to keep our members informed, but we can’t take a stand,” said Woolston.
NoLandGrab: "Can't" take a stand, or "won't?" There's a difference.
