What is the connection to drugs? You need links to that page What is the connection to urban renewal? Please write that page, too. (ask me for clarification)

The Bushwick initiative is a urban renewal project targeting REDUCING DRUG DEALING ACTIVITY ADDRESSING HOUSING CONDITIONS LEAD ABATEMENT TREATMENT

The organization that are part of this development are


 * New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
 * Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Citizen’s Council (RBSCC)
 * The Office of Assemblyman Vito Lopez
 * The New York City Police Department (NYPD)
 * The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH),
 * The New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS),
 * local non-profit organizations, building owners, and community residents.

The connection it has to urban renewal is that it’s trying to help the environment. The connection to drugs is that they work with NCU (Narcotics Control Unit) to help clean up where people are selling and buying drugs. Urban renewal is to have a leap to better change to influence the area in a positive way
