Zoning Hearing For Maple Lanes To Be Held Tomorrow

Borough President Marty Markowitz will hold a public hearing in the matter of a zoning map amendment which would rezone the property that Maple Lanes currently stands to house condos and a synagogue.

The hearing will be at the Borough President’s Court Room in Brooklyn Borough Hall at 209 Joralemon Street. It begins at 4 p.m. tomorrow, September 27.

Here’s the official announcement, which reveals some key deatils as to what the developers are planning to build instead of the bowling alley:
