ACT LOCAL SAYS DON’T DEMO DOMINO SUGAR FACTORY

Residents of Williamsburg want to save the more than 120-year-old Domino Sugar Processing building. It faces demolition.

“While we can’t stop change we want to manage it a little bit,” Mikki Halpin of the concert organizer Act Local told New York 1. “This is a building that really represents the neighborhood to a lot of people.”

The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold a hearing on whether the building should be landmarked.

There’s a benefit concert today, JUNE 3rd, in Grand Ferry Park from 2 p.m until 8 p.m. For more information visit their My Space page. Here’s the line up
