Representatives from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, HR&A Advisors and Two Trees will join in on a panel discussion that will touch on the history and growth of the neighborhood, how developers and arts organizations have successfully collaborated, and also how cultural organizations, and the City, are currently dealing with the challenges resulting from rising real estate costs.
