Borough President Marty Markowitz is getting ready for his State
of the Borough Thursday night at the Steiner film Studios.
Here are some talking points:
He wants to turn Asser Levy Park in Coney Island, which is the site
of his summer concert series, into a state-of-the-art, all-weather
performance venue. He wants it to attract the same circuit tours as
Jones Beach and Westbury.
He’s also looking to transform the old Loew’s
Kings movie theater on Flatbush Avenue, which has been empty for 30
years. The majestic 1920s theater is one of the last of its kind that
has never been subdivided.
