NEW YORK (AP) -- The historic Domino sugar factory on Brooklyn's waterfront has officially achieved landmark status in a City Council vote.
The approval covers three buildings at the Williamsburg site, where Domino began operations in 1856. It closed in January 2004.
The City Council's move essentially rubber-stamps the designation
already granted by the city Landmarks Preservation Commission and
Planning Commission.
Landmark status ensures that the site's new owner, CPC Resources, can't
alter the existing exterior of the factory in its planned development.
That project includes plans for a mixed use community, with 2,400 residential units and parkland.
