Councilmember Felder praises 1166 Bedford Avenue project as Muslim house of prayer with senior housing
Councilmember Simcha Felder remarks on the Bedford Avenue rezoning, noting it involves a Muslim house of prayer with senior housing and a children's area, calling it a wonderful project and expressing delight it is before the subcommittee.
Council, are there any members, any council members with questions or remarks at this time?
Council Member Felder.
As usual, I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about, but the Bedford Avenue rezoning, was that a house of prayer that was going to do senior housing?
So I just wanted to mention briefly that I...
That Councilmember Osi is very much in favor of this, and that
I don't remember having the opportunity to help a house of prayer
often.
And this project has so many good parts to it.
It's a Muslim house of prayer.
It has a senior citizen component to it.
It has a children's kindergarten or play area.
In the same space which would allow the children and the seniors, hopefully, to, you know, spend some time together.
It's just a wonderful project.
And I am just delighted that it's coming before us today.
Thank you.
Thank you, Council Member.
