Brooklyn's Progress
May 2004

On Wednesday, April 7th, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz joined KeySpan representatives at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in recognition of KeySpan’s First Green Cinderella Award Winners, Susan Boyle and Benton Brown.

KeySpan launched the Green Cinderella competition to encourage the use of green building materials and natural gas technologies within its service territories.  Developers Susan Boyle and Benton Brown were recognized for their efforts in transforming the abandoned Nassau Brewery Ice House in Crown Heights into a six-unit residential dwelling with solar panels, radiant heat and cutting-edge technology.

Borough President Markowitz presented the winners with a proclamation, naming Wednesday “KeySpan’s First Green Cinderella Award Winners Susan Boyle and Benton Brown Day in Brooklyn, USA,” in honor of their work.
