Community Board members and Bushwick Citizens gathered Wednesday night at Bushwick’s monthly Community Board 4 meeting at Hope Gardens Multi-Service center, the first one since August’s recess and the primary elections. The room was packed, and there was plenty to discuss, but the subject that got the most airtime by far was the controversial rezoning proposal of the former site of the Rheingold Brewery. Emotions ran high throughout the evening as neighbors of the proposed rezoning presented a petition stating their position on the project and community board members defended their actions and assured attendees that they’d done their best to make decisions that were in the best interest of the whole community.
