Brookhaven officials have ordered the removal of newly installed glass from the City Centre dome after it appeared “significantly brighter than expected.” According to a city spokesman, the city received some complaints from the public about the bright colors, but city officials were also evaluating the issue themselves.

🏛️ Why It Matters: The dome is a central feature of Brookhaven’s new City Centre project, which thousands of residents helped shape through a multi-year public engagement process.

🔍 What’s Happening: The Mayor and City Council released a joint statement explaining that the mosaic glass installed on the dome didn’t match the muted blues and greens that were originally planned.

🚧 Next Steps: The city will remove the glass immediately, leaving the dome “open-air until further notice,” according to the statement.

🗣️ Between the Lines: According to the statement, the dome “was always intended to be adaptable,” suggesting officials may have anticipated potential design adjustments.
