Community Boards 2, 6 To Review Barclays Center Liquor License
Joint Meeting Planned April 10
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Congrats to The Eagle on its new look — a vast improvement.
Community Boards 2 and 6 have both received the statutorily required 30-day notice stating that Levy Premium Foodservice LP and Brooklyn Events Center LLC intend to apply for an on-premises liquor license for the Barclays Center, which straddles the boundary between the two community boards.
The two boards will, therefore, conduct a joint meeting on Tuesday, April 10, to hear a presentation by representatives of the applicant and the arena operator with input from the New York Police Department and review the application.
...The meeting, set to begin at 6:30 pm, will take place in the auditorium of the 78th Precinct, 65 Sixth Ave., between Bergen and Dean streets. Although not a public hearing, the public will have the opportunity to ask questions and comment.
Ashley Cotton, a spokesperson for Barclays, told the Eagle, “This is a formal review process. We will meet with the community boards on April 10th to discuss the application and answer their questions.”
NoLandGrab: Okay, then here's a question — why does a company that's broken every promise it's made to the community deserve the community's support for its liquor license?
