Field notes
The homepage connects the project to Newburgh Creates and gives a street address in the city. It also points readers to Segregation by Design, an atlas of aerial before-and-after imagery covering neighborhoods affected by redlining, urban renewal, and highway construction. The site identifies the project as established in 2021.
