“This project has been my dream for more than 25 years, starting when I was co-chair of the Housing Committee for Community board 10,” said Edward Poteat, president of Carthage Real Estate Advisors. “I especially want to thank the visionary team at NYCHDC for their support on every level! It was thrilling to see so many well-wishers at the event who helped make this a reality, including several of our most esteemed elected officials.”
