If you read one thing today, make it this tongue-in-cheek prediction about a new Trump Condo that will be announced next year for the Radiac site on Kent Avenue in Williamsburg: “In November 2008, Donald Trump and Councilman David Yassky announced Trump’s first Brooklyn venture: the Trump Irridium, a 29-story residential tower to be built at Kent Avenue and Grand Street in Williamsburg….At a Kent Avenue press conference, a radiant Yassky explained the historic compromise that involves preserving the iconic stucco structure by building the residential tower atop it, and demolishing the neighboring block of historic commercial buildings.” Affordable housing where the waste used to be stored, friends. It could work.–INSIJS

This must be a joke? How much is Trump paying for cleaning up the Radiac site before he builds on it? And will the community ever know what kinds of spills there may have been there over the years?
Also its says above Trump is buidling a 29 story building on the Radiac site, yet doesn’t the Grand Street rezoning of March 26 2008 mean he is limited to height of just a few stories? as its R6B zoned now? or is did the sleazy City Hall cut a deal with the sleazy Trump?
FYI– Is Radiac on this list?

Businesses advised to secure chemicals

Government to tell 7,000 businesses to secure chemicals against theft
WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government will tell 7,000 businesses next week that they are considered high risk-terrorist targets because they house large amounts of chemicals.
The sites — which range from major chemical plants to universities, food processing centers and hospitals — will need to complete a vulnerability assessment so the government can decide how to regulate their security measures in the future.
U.S. intelligence officials say terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, favor chemical attack methods because of the severe consequences they can inflict.
