The Culver El Affordable Housing Development in Brooklyn finally held its grand opening Sunday afternoon after 20 years of starts and stops along the planning and construction process.
Culver El Affordable Housing has been in development for over two decades with the process spanning four New York City mayors, and on Nov. 27 it was at last officially opened. The Borough Park development is designed to offer permanent affordable housing to low-income and middle-class families.
The reception, held inside 1240 37th St., was attended by a litany of elected officials and representatives, such as state Senator Roxanne Persaud, City Comptroller Brad Lander, and more. Although the date officially marked the grand opening, Culver El already houses a number of families that for many seemed to take a lifetime to build.
