Mayor Adams announced the winners of the annual Excellence in Design award, which is presented by the NYC Public Design Commission.

A total of 11 projects received an award this year for their innovative and sustainable designs for various city and community projects. Among them was an award presented to the Borough Park Library, as well as the NYC Department of Environmental Protection in collaboration with NYC Parks in honor of their design for a project in Gowanus, a neighborhood  right near Boro Park, which will provide 2 acres of public waterfront open space.

“When we invest in the beauty and functionality of our public spaces, we create environments where everyone feels welcome and valued, and these projects — from revitalized waterfront spaces to state-of-the-art community facilities — embody our vision for a city where every neighborhood thrives,” Mayor Adams said.
