This from NY 1:

More than 20 blocks of so-called prime real estate in the DUMBO section
of Brooklyn are one step closer to being off-limits to developers,
after the Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously voted to
designate the area as the city’s 90th historic district.

Ninety-one 19th and 20th century industrial buildings on and around
John, York, Bridge and Main Streets will be preserved, pending approval
from the City Council.

The Landmarks Preservation Commissioner says the area was essential
to Brooklyn’s rise as a major manufacturing center and was home to some
of America’s most important industrial firms.
