OK for armory plan

A PLAN TO transform Brooklyn’s Bedford-Union Armory into a rec center and hundreds of apartments got final approval from the City Council on Thursday.

The controversial Crown Heights project has sparked protests and a day before the vote, the Legal Aid Society filed a lawsuit attempting to stop it.

Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo struck a deal to make major changes to the project — scrapping plans for condos, and lowering the rents for apartments designated as affordable housing.
