The monthly Community Board 12 (CB12) meeting is taking place tonight, and is sure to be quite a spectacle.
This meeting has gained attention of Brooklyn residents because of the recent controversy regarding millions in tax breaks that are pending approval to assist Moisha’s Supermarket with a large expansion of of their store on Avenue M in Midwood.
The District Manager of CB12 reportedly told NYC’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) that the Board backed the nearly $2 million tax break, when in fact, he had never even discussed the matter with the Board. The IDA has already given preliminary approval to the tax break, but a final vote will take place next month.
Coverage of this controversy by a daily Jewish newspaper failed to mention the basic facts of the controversy – that the District Manager lied to the city agency reviewing the tax break by claiming that the Community Board approved the tax break.

You Seem to only be presenting one side of a very complicated issue. Can you please provide readers with some information on what Moisha’s Supermarket is saying regarding this controversy? Thank You
I happen to know the District manager. He is a very decent and honorable man. He is involved with many chesed activities.
Please do not repeat the slanders against him, without–at least–giving him an opportunity to give his side of the story.
Please post my comment what I wrote a few minutes ago thanks any problem please reply to my email thanks

Please DO NOT editorialize the news. This is too important an issue. We must present BOTH SIDES…not just those opposed to this move. Moishe’s ia a nice store in an area where there is not much shopping unless you travel or walk a long way. There is nothing wrong with their expansion plans…unless you are some of the “old” neighbors who are not happy that too many “acheinu bnei yisroel” have moved into the neighborhood.
YWN present BOTH sides Please!!!
This sounds like Greenfield is involved shame on YWN for selling themselves I’m sure youll block this message shame!!!
