requesting help contacting a landowner

[Amy Blumsack]

Hi All,

 

I’m new to the group, but very excited to be joining!

 

I work for a soup kitchen and community-based social service organization located in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn.  We are interested in potentially turning the empty lot across the street from us into a small urban farm where we can grow fresh produce to use in the meals we serve, and/or distribute to our members. 

 

I’m looking for help drafting our first letter to the LLC that owns the lot.  They own a number of other properties around the city, and I’m not sure about the best way to frame our request.

 

If anyone has drafted a letter or reached out to a private landlord in the past, I would love to hear how you did it and how it went.

 

Thanks so much,  

 

Amy Blumsack
