BUSHWICK RETAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE FOR ALMOST TWO HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE OFFICIALLY BECOMING A PART OF THE GROWING CITY OF BROOKLYN. SINCE ITS EARLY DAYS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN DEFINED BY PRODUCTION FIRST FROM FARMS, THEN FROM FACTORIES. IN TODAY’S WORLD, A NEW VISION OF PRODUCTION HAS BROUGHT A MODERN COHORT OF MAKERS AND CREATIVES TO THE AREA. THE BLOCK ESTABLISHES AN INVITING BASE FOR THIS RANGE OF PEOPLE, BUSINESSES, AND IDEAS TO COME TOGETHER FOSTERING COMFORTABLE AND COLLABORATIVE INTERACTION.
