In terms of the armory, while I'm happy the project is moving forward as an immediate neighbor I'm concerned about the lack of conversation about asbestos and lead in the building. The fact that DNA info has vanished doesn't bode well for these types of conversations, but still. How can I get attention to these important potentially adverse effects?

You can try hitting up Bklyner (while it's still in existence).

They do seem to be next to go: https://bklyner.com/save-local-journalism-save-bklyner/

Well, that is pretty cool. I hope this project gets finished in my lifetime.

The proponents of this project ran political laps around the detractors.
