Today, May 11, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, dressed as Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam, joined Council Members Stephen Levin (General John Sullivan) and Brad Lander (General William Alexander), Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Kevin Jeffrey (General George Washington), Old Stone House Executive Director Kim Maier and area children for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the third phase of renovation to Washington Park. See a photo of him as the general below!
