The Bedford-Atlantic Armory in Crown Heights South is open to the public today prior to a community meeting with Borough President Marty Markowitz to discuss the future of the facility this evening. The Troop C Armory has served a number of roles since its completion in 1907?a cavalry training center, a homeless shelter, and film sound stages. Last year's push to turn the armory into a rec center was met with some resistance from the community because funding for that project was coming from a homeless service agency that also wanted the armory used as an intake center for homeless men.
