Community Engagement

The Heartbeat & Soul of Bridge Street

“Everything we do at Bridge Street is about community engagement,” declares our President in “A Love Letter to Brooklyn.” Echoing this sentiment, he adds, “Brooklyn captures you. There’s always something to do, something to enjoy, and it’s just a feel-good place.” Here’s a quick video made in partnership with National Grid, showcasing our president’s appreciation and love for community and Brooklyn. Dive into a bit of what makes our work and this place so special.
