An In-Depth Look at the Gowanus

Former BHB/CHB contributor Sarah Portlock has created a new multimedia Web site called Characters of Gowanus. The website provides a comprehensive look at the recently designated Superfund site and features an interactive timeline of the Gowanus and an interview with the EPA regional Superfund director. The project, created with Rob Anderson, is part of the pair’s multimedia thesis at Columbia University’s School of Journalism.
