The Brooklyn Paper is reporting that the City Council is poised to approve the Domino development project on the East River in Williamsburg when it meets today thanks to a last-minute compromise that will reduce two of the residential towers from 40 stories to 34 stories while maintaining all 660 units of affordable housing originally promised.

Stay tuned for the results of the final Council.
