How Nathan’s Site Was Chosen for a School in Bay Ridge and Safety Wasn’t Considered – IS 322
In January, journalist, Katie Horan’s from The City Publication told NYC how the Nathan’s site at 650 – 86th Street was chosen for a middle school location in Bay Ridge. You can read it here.
Today, Katie Horan published a follow up of the story of how Efthimios Zisimopoulos sold the Nathan’s property for $25 million to the School Construction Authority. (See here)
If you live in the area of this school and questioned why someone chose a busy street to put a school, you will be surprised to read what went down. Read the article here
Another school is coming to Bay Ridge on 5th Avenue (even though a Community Board 10 member revealed that the nearby school had empty seats). (See here) Efthimios Zisimopoulos (Tim Ziss) was also the owner of this building and he sold this property for $21 million. (Source)
It’s four months later and not one politician spoke about this, no reporter in our area reported about it and no one investigated it.
When you vote in August and November, remember who was silent and who allowed a location for a school to be chosen this way.
