Sunset Park is one of the many Brooklyn neighborhoods where an eventual rezoning is in play. To that end, several community meetings are coming up. They’re sponsored by Community Board 7, Council Member Sara Gonzalez and the Pratt Institute for Community Development. The first meeting is tonight (10/22) at 6:30PM. Here are details on the upcoming meetings from an email we received:

Monday, October 22, 2007: 6:30 p.m. at the Community Board offices at 4201 4th Avenue (entrance on 43rd Street off 4th Avenue). This meeting will be a workshop, conducted by Brad Lander and Paula Crespo of the Pratt Center for Community Development. It will basically be a class in “Rezoning 101” to give residents a basic foundation in what is involved in rezoning.

Saturday, October 27, 2007: 1:00 p.m. at the Sunset Park Recreation Center at 7th Avenue and 43rd Street ( inside Sunset Park). This meeting will provide an opportunity for residents and community groups to present their views on the rezoning of Sunset Park.

Wednesday, November 7, 2007: 6:30 p.m. Our Lady of Perpertual Help Auditorium, 5906 6th Avenue. This meeting will provide an another opportunity for residents and community groups to present their views on the rezoning of Sunset Park.

It will be interesting to see how the Sunset Park discussion develops.
