We started getting emails yesterday afternoon about boring machines drilling test holes at the future site of the controversial 360 Smith Street building in Carroll Gardens. It would indicate that the project is getting closer to getting underway. Speaking of which, we understand that 360 Smith developer Billy Stein will be appearing at the Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association meeting on Monday (2/11) at 7:30 PM. The meeting will take place at St. Mary Star of the Sea Residence at 41 First Street, between Hoyt and Bond Streets, which is a new location. “Should be interesting,” in the words of one of our Carroll Gardens sources. The last time Mr. Stein appeared at a CGNA meeting he fielded many questions from residents about the building he is planning to develop and showed updated renderings, but declined to allow them to be photographed.
