PLGNA was incorporated in 1969 by PLG residents who opposed unfair real estate and bank practices like redlining and wanted to form a working interracial neighborhood. One of its first projects was to document 300 abandoned and 300 deteriorating buildings within the neighborhood. In 1973, PLGNA became involved in a landmark legal battle to combat redlining. Over the years, it has helped tenants to organize unions and blocks to form associations; supported safety programs; transported seniors; developed youth programs; and served as an umbrella organization for other neighborhood groups.

The Parkside Prize

Parkside Avenue, between Flatbush and Ocean: it is the beloved eastern entrance into Prospect Park; it is the humblest subway stop within five minutes of Atlantic Avenue; it is the humming borderlands of three different neighborhoods. And it badly needs a makeover. (via The Parkside Prize)
