Residents Rally Against High Rise Development in Windsor Terrace
Briefly

Residents of Windsor Terrace rallied outside Arrow Linen to oppose a proposed rezoning plan that would allow two 13-story apartment buildings on Prospect Avenue. Led by the Housing Not High Rises group, more than a hundred locals urged Council Member Shahana Hanif to reject the plan backing the Magliocco family, who seeks to rezone their property for development. They demand that 40% of the new units be affordable, raising concerns about potential backroom deals and the actual affordability of the beds.
Huntington fears the rezoning could allow buildings taller than what's acceptable, stating they would 'stick up like a couple of big middle fingers' to the community.
Community members express distrust, fearing backroom deals between Council Member Hanif and developers, while advocating for more affordable housing options.
