The potential creation of an Industrial Business Zone (IBZ) in Ridgewood will be the focus of a public hearing at Community Board 5’s next meeting this Wednesday night, June 12, in Middle Village.
As announced by District Manager Gary Giordano, the session will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CNL Room (Third Floor, Door 10) at Christ the King Regional High School, located at 68-02 Metropolitan Ave.
The public hearing will focus on the IBZ proposed by the Ridgewood Local Development Corporation for part of the area known as “South of Myrtle Avenue” (SOMA). The proposed zone includes manufacturing-zoned properties bordered by Cypress Avenue on the north, Irving Avenue on the south, Hancock Street on the west and the Long Island Rail Road’s Bay Ridge branch on the east.
Additional information on the proposed IBZ can be found in the story on Page 3.
Following the public hearing, the board will move forward with its regular agenda, which includes the public forum, a review of liquor license applications and demolition notices, reports by Chairperson Vincent Arcuri and District Manager Giordano and committee Reports.
The session will also include the election of Executive Committee members.
